There are several big events going on in the art community this week, especially on Friday, June 25.
The June Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art school is a fundraiser for the ULSU  PRIDE resource centre. There will be special  treats for sale at the bake sale including Stud Muffins and special cakes.
 It begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Trianon  Gallery (104 5 Street South) and will go  until about 10 p.m. This month’s theme is a  Drag King and Bull Dyke Femme Show featuring Buster Hynem (Beth Millions) and Madame Pamplemousse (Marie Heléne Lyle).
Dr. Sketchy’s Ant-Art School is part art class, part cabaret and 100 per cent decadent fun. Artists gather, have a few drinks  and draw  the models in assorted poses. Bring your own art supplies. While you don’t have to be able to draw well, you do have to draw.
