Join Philadelphia-based artist Jeanine Leclaire as she shares how she learned to refuse to find shame in her daily life, and in turn found the power to start making artwork that included her kinky side. Jeanine will speak about how that led her to develop the Deviant Life Drawing sessions which attracted the community she had been searching for.  After her talk in the gallery, take a walk across the street to the FIA Art School Annex (134 W Second St.), where Jeanine will host Flint’s own Deviant Life Drawing session. Jeanine will give a quick ink drawing demonstration then invite anyone who wishes to join her to draw. Feel free to bring your favorite drawing supplies. This session will have a live nude model who will be lightly bound with rope and belts.
