About the Open Call

Join us for a special Labor Day edition of Sketchy Nights, an immersive afternoon of art, music, and community, presented by The Black Yuppie Creative House. Taking place at the beloved Miyagi Records, this event invites creatives, collectors, and culture lovers alike to vibe out and create together. From 3-430, we’ll kick things off with a group live model sketch session, perfect for both seasoned artists and curious beginners looking to tap into their creative side. All set to the tune of N.E.R.D. “Nobody Ever Really Dies” on vinyl. Bring your favorite sketch tools or use materials provided on-site. Must have a RSVP for this portion. As the sketch winds down, the energy picks up with a live Dj set while a curated selection of local vendors set up on the patio offering art, goods, and refreshments. Come through, connect, sketch, dig through crates, and celebrate the end of the summer with the Black Yuppie Creative House. What is Sketchy Night??
