We host a monthly Board Game Club for Middle School students (grades 6-8). 

Want to beat each other up as giant monsters? Or maybe, steal treasures from the mall without saying a word? How about teaming up with other Marvel heroes to defeat the villains? Come to the Middle School Board Game Club, where you'll learn and play awesome board games!

This club will meet monthly on the second Thursday of each month to learn & play new board games together

We'll have a model on a stage doing a series of poses while attendees can draw/sketch, with all supplies provided. 

On THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9th we're planning another fun literary-themed model drawing night! 
Registration opens on September 2nd - Click here for more info

All skill levels, ages 18+, are welcome to attend! These art events are hosted quarterly throughout the year and are similar to figure drawing sketch workshops, embracing a new "theme" each time, as far as our model costumes. 

Our drawing nights are co-hosted and facilitated by Yeah Haus animator/producer Michelle Ouellette.
