Are you a sketchy kinda character?? Possibly the pastel, pencil or charcoal sort? You know who are you … in fact, L’il Dutch needs you to be even sketchier than ever and join her at this inspiring installment of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School Show! Featuring a burlesque number with creative costuming followed by posing for life drawings set to toe-tappin’ tunes. Or – grab a beer, some popcorn and observe raw artistry in your midst!

See more pics of L’il Dutch on her MySpace page.

My good friend John Aaron will be back in town and coordinating efforts here in DC. He’ll be setting up at the Warehouse on Saturday September 15th. Please check the Chalk for Peace website – www.chalk4peace.org for more information. That’s also the same day and just around the corner from Arts on Foot.

“OUR STREETS ‘R OUR MEDIA -WE have TOTAL access”

The pavements are an untapped media resource through which we ordinary peace loving folk can share our messages, hopes, dreams, ideas and create a new momentum towards peace – at a certain point there is critical mass in the cultural conversation which transforms into ACTION

Mission Possible – “Our World Working For ALL of Us”
