Come enjoy the RARE opportunity to view a fantastic art exhibit, meet the artist, all while being nude yourself! ART + NUDITY, what could be better?
Art During the Occupation, Bushwick along with our friends at Men's Naked Drawing Group is pleased to invite YOU to our men’s nudist night in celebration of the male queer body as expressed and expanded through the drawings of transgender artist Cupid Ojala.
Artist Cupid Ojala’s work conjures new ways of seeing the queer body through the lens of a trans man. He also loves naked art events! You will be able to view the 52 drawings that comprise his “C U Next Tuesday” series, as well as a large mural painted by the artist. Many of the bodies in Cupid’s drawings are naked, so what better way to commune with his art than to be naked too! The artwork is available for purchase through the gallery. Support a living artist! For more info on Ojala’s artwork, please see the Art During the Occupation Gallery website. http://art-during-the-occupation-gallery.com/_current.html
