A Live Art and Music Session
presented by Substantial Art & Music

SketchPads is a live art and music “jam session” featuring live illustrations by a visual artist and a live beat set by a producer. The space includes invited cosplayers/figure models to pose for the audience to draw. The room serves as an artist lounge where spectators can observe or use the space to work on their own art.
