Join us at the AKMA for our upcoming Drink & Draw Art Party on Wednesday, July 15 from 5:30–7:30 PM! This lively evening invites artists of all skill levels to enjoy a relaxed drawing session with live models in a creative museum setting.

This month's special guests are the Blacksnake Bellydance Circle, a hobbyist fusion-style Middle Eastern dance group based in St. Joseph, Missouri. Their vibrant costumes, expressive movement, and dynamic poses will provide a unique and inspiring figure drawing experience.

Guests must be 21 or older to drink and 18 or older to draw. The event features a cash bar and a $10 entry fee. Bring your favorite drawing supplies or use materials provided by the museum. Whether you're brushing up on figure drawing or simply looking for a fun, artistic night out, this event offers the perfect mix of art, performance, and atmosphere!
