THE SKY INSIDE
OFFBEAT session 50 April 30th at .yyc

We are so pleased to announce our guest musician for our upcoming session ♥️ we’ll be serenaded by the live music of 🎶💕

Allinesik is an ambient++noise artist from Regina, Sk. Their art is shaped by the experience of travelling across the country on the Trans-Canada Highway; including the time spent in serene/eerie towns, and spontaneous stops along the way to take in the alluring sights and become one with the natural world. While this project is shaped by moments of beauty and awe, it is also shaped by mental turmoil, departure from reality, and anguish.

’Breath of Fresh Air’

In a world bound by speed and distraction,
sh***ri offers conscious containment.
Chosen tension.
Intentional pause.
Structure that demands both presence and surrender.
Rope contains the body — and expands the interior landscape.

For this session, local sh***ri artist and teacher .photo will bind our live models in a style that honours the craft as both discipline and art. The rope becomes composition — line, geometry, and gesture suspended in space.

For artists, this offers a study unlike any other.
The familiar human form becomes layered — textured with pattern, intention, and deliberate stillness.

There is more to trace.
More to notice.
More to feel.

This session invites curiosity — not only about rope and form — but about the ways containment can sharpen perception. How structure can heighten awareness. How, within the held body, something vast may quietly emerge.

Bring your art supplies & a friend — or come make a few! (We tend to attract kind-hearted folks) 🥰
Zero drawing experience needed.
You are also welcome to create in response to the energy of the space — through non-representational art, poetry, or journaling. ✍️ 🎨
(No voyeurism. We make art together.)

Poetry Share – 9:30pm
For anyone wishing to share written words, we will host an open mic during the long pose. As the room casts eyes on muses and paper, you’re invited to step up and speak your own work — or a favourite poem.

Never Been?
You’re in for a treat!
Off-Beat Figure Drawing sessions are gatherings of artists — and that simply means anyone who feels called to create.
Our mission: ♥️You belong.

We make art in community, serenaded by 🎶 live music, inside an artfully created environment. Live n**e models pose within immersive installation art.

♥️♥️♥️ See you soon! ♥️♥️♥️
