THE LAIRD invites you to give us a HAND JOB! We are proud to present the return of this art exhibition and competition to celebrate male sexuality and fetish as part of A Week of Leather and Fetish (AWOL) 2024.
Teaming up with and GAY LIFE DRAWING MELBOURNE, DEANATION and DOWN AN’ DIRTY, we're inviting artists to submit themed hand-drawn works submitted on quality white A4 paper using only grey/dark/black materials.
Artworks consist of donated pieces from local artists. Patrons to The Laird can purchase works for $30 each with proceeds benefitting SWITCHBOARD.
The three winning entries will become the face of the AWOL 2025 CRUISE CARD, as well as being featured on aweekofleather.com. The winning artists will each receive a $50 Dean’s Art vouchers.
Whether you can whack one out in a minute or you like to doodle for hours, it’s all in the name of good dirty fun.
New to the game or want to hone your hand job skills? Check out our BRUSH UPS LIFE DRAWING CLASSES, being held on Tuesday 22nd July at The Laird. More info at aweekofleather.com or check out The Laird’s events on Facebook.
