Join artists Paul Richmond and Briden Schueren for Redrawing Masculinity, a monthly figure drawing workshop that celebrates and explores the diversity of masculine expression. Both Paul and Briden are queer - one trans, one cis - creating a rare and meaningful space where lived experience shapes every pose, every conversation, and every stroke of the pencil. Together, they cultivate a safe, affirming environment for queer artists and allies to challenge traditional notions of masculinity, embrace authenticity, and express themselves through art.
When: First Wednesday of each month, next session: October 1, 2025
Time: 4:30-6:30 pm PST / 7:30-9:30 pm EST

“You would think that drawing men posing nude, live on Zoom, would be awkward and uncomfortable. It wasn’t. The way the workshop was paced and delivered created such a relaxing, safe and welcoming environment.” – Jake Gomez
Whether you’re honing your craft, expanding your understanding of gender, or finding a new channel for self-expression, Redrawing Masculinity offers more than figure drawing—it’s a celebration of queer identity, creativity, and community.
