We Are Back
Life Drawing Classes Every Wed/Thurs night 7-9pm Starting Oct. 16
Your support in us moving has been so moving that we actually moved.
Thank you to the countless hands that physically helped, the supportive shoulders, and the deep pockets. It did take a lot more to float the gallery down the road than I’d hoped though so the best thing you can do is turn up to nudenight and have a draw. It will also be fun to watch it grow every week. In the start it will be extremely stripped back. A great model, in a big timber floored gallery space, with a light and a few seats. I’ll still be here yelling at you all, and Wang may even make an appearance. It seriously has cost a lot though so we are still raising cash to make the renovations and keep the kind shareholders getting a trickle of payback. All of which means, we are still selling shirts and accepting any donations…

I had my hands full moving & getting this new space so I took my foot off the T-shirt accelerator. Sorry all, but I will be back on that this week with a view to having your shirts available in time for our soft opening night on October 16.
Sydneys Nudenight Life drawing is an inspirational and enjoyable art space which gives you the opportunity to explore and push your creativity as a beginner or advanced artist.
Drawing, painting, and creating art alongside established successful artists, and casual pencil dippers who just love to draw. Passionate debate is encouraged between all, sometimes dancing happens, and despite all efforts Nudenight has grown to be as much about the people & community, as for the unique space itself. One hobo once said, “Best Life Drawing in Sydney”, another …”wow, drawing is fun. Can I have some more?”, and who can forget, “…yeah, that Wallace guy is dreamy…”.
So if you are new to life drawing and looking for a fun night out in the inner west, please don’t be scared it’s a lot easier than you think. And if you are an artist in need of inspirational muse, come on down the very southern end of king street Newtown. Life drawing classes every week and always with a range of exciting creative unexpected opportunities to help you grow as an artist and meet new people. The last Sunday of every month is a long 3hr art directed interesting pose, and keep an eye out for our; portraiture, drawing, landscape, or clay sculpture workshops, run in association with talented experienced local artists.… and yes Admiral Wangs House of Dumplings is open Wednesday & Thursday nights … our cafe is temporarily closed for retooling, watch this space, and if you are looking to rent some art space, drop us a line.

Coming up @nudenight_lifedrawing
Sydney’s Nudenight Life drawing & SthSthKingSt is a niche arts hub that started in 2018 on the fringe of Sydney Park. The modelling, space, & drawing are all inspired and art is taken very seriously. There are a lot of very valid drawing classes in Sydney which focus on structured technique, and righteous silent contemplation, we are not one of them. Also be sure that we are not one of those frivolous “put paint on a canvas, drink a wine, kick-em to the curb” kind of places.
We want to be impressed by you.
Beginner drawers are always welcome to any session, and we do have basic materials for you to play with. Any day of the week will find you surrounded by a friendly community of artists only too happy to discuss materials, techniques, and theories they have about Chemtrails. If you are lucky you may hook a moment with one of several artists who run formal workshops at SthSthKingSt. Our part-time lovers and trained artist teachers SiMo , Jon Potter, EV Shipard, Nat, and Alan Sommerville, are all a wealth of talent and knowledge. If you ask Stuntmullet you will get the best advice, but it may involve a blindfold and standing in the park with a stick and a tin of black paint.
During the week Admiral Wang will fix you up with steaming hot dumplings if you get a bit peckish.
On Thursdays the poses are a little longer and whilst Stuntmullet will happily tell you where you’ve gone wrong, you are pretty much flying on your own. Listen to post punk gems, Stuntmullets rollercoaster mood swings and cry in your pencils cases.
If you are scared of the dark, or just can’t make it on a school night, our Sunday afternoon Nudeday offers a slightly more relaxing chilled alternative, and is now run by Mark (a great option, if you can’t stand Stuntmullets soliloquies).
Nudenight life drawing and SthSthKingSt is always changing, but does have a seasonal shift as it gets cooler. The open fireplace in winter is a delight, and many a tall artistic tale has been told beneath it’s flue.
Booking is highly recommended, and helps us make sure you have enough food and butt spots.
Working in conjunction with Nudenight Lifedrawing is SthSthKingSt Gallery. A gallery aimed at giving local artists a realistic commercial outlet , and an exhibition space to encourage further artistic development. And it’s just a great place to pick up diverse, original, and affordable works of art.
[and yes we have started renting the space out for private functions, whether they be catered sit downs, hens nights with proper art instruction, or other …]
Hazel always brings a little fun to any session.
The first of 2024’s Xmas Parties has come and gone. Thank you everyone for the great night. Here’s a few happy snaps … Next dress up is French Baroque … all welcome x
