Dr Sketchy's is the Art Class your mum doesn't want you going to!
Life Modelling by stunning Burlesque queens and circus performers. The most beautiful and bizarre come out for the purpose of furthering your art work.

This January to bring in the new year we have Clara Cupcakes AND Lots of Cupcakes for snacking!! Nomnomnom!

This is one dame who's good with her hands - Whilst baking trays of kitsch cupcakes she twirled fans and hula hoops all over last year's fringe festival! Clara's knockout hips and va-va-voom curves featured recently in Marie Claire and tantalize audiences Australia wide with Sugar Blue Burlesque Stage shows. Dancer, madcap flapper, gin soaked floozy and vampish vagabond, Clara Cupcakes is dishing us up something sweet.

Our slightly over hyperactive and insane German Scientist Dr Barry Umenema will be back to host us through the evening. He'll drag you giggling and screaming through his bizarre games and throw lollies at you whenever he damn feels like it.

Easels are welcome up the back and remember to bring drop sheets if you are doing some flamboyant ink or paintwork. As always the bar is fully stocked to help loosen that creative mind of yours!

With Squiggles from the Dr Sketchy Crew

Hours: Starts 8pm

When too much Christmas turkey is not enough the GOLDEN TURKEY FILM FEST may be just the ticket! Join us for a night of cult cinema under the stars in the Perth Cultural Centre.

The Golden Turkey Film Festival serves up a feast of B Grade classics so endearingly terrible that they personify the so-bad-it's-good genre of filmmaking. Four B Grade classics with dialogue and acting so terrible, stories so ridiculous, sets that fall apart and effects so dazzlingly cheesy that you cannot afford to miss out.

These cult gems which have played in relative obscurity on television screens for years have now fallen into the genre of cult classics, fueled by fans of cinema atrocities and critics such as Michael Medved who coined the Golden Turkey Awards in his book of the same name. These Z grade classics are screening in big screen awesomeness on the massive LED screen in the Perth Cultural Centre.

January 8's screening is the endearingly silly TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE, with acting so bad it is the source of most of the movie's unintended hilarity.

If you have a penchant for bad costumed alien invading lobsters, shaky and flaky sets coupled with acting and direction so mind-numbingly brilliant in its awfulness then this is the cinematic Holiday Seasons treat for you. If not cover your eyes and run.

Film screens at 8pm and is supported with a classic cartoon short.

Hours: 7:00pm until 10:00pm
Cost: ?

We've been waiting for a mmiiinnute to do this. Stupid excited to announce the act for the first Don't!Sleep of 2k12, Sydney boy genius, DRO CAREY.

The 19 year-old Sydney producer has been inducing intrigue and interest for the online soundscapes and video creations stuffed inside his Tumblr (BrainSoSoft) & Vimeo (DC Vampira) accounts. They are the sights and sounds of a producer deeply into his passions & the amount of original material included is nothing short of astounding.

With releases on game changing record labels such as Ramp, Hum N Buzz & Trilogy Tapes, features in Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, and public support from anybody who's anybody in todays strange and twisted clubland, DRO CAREY is set to take over the cosmos.

His extraordinary music assimilates everything from classic techno and house, rap, juke, grime, tripped-out R&B, & old school 808 echoes to produce a peculiar skewed aesthetic. Comparable in some ways to Hype Williams productions, the mix of nostalgic chopped and looped samples with a fuzzy VHS finish.

He was named as one of the top ten producers to watch in 2011 by FACT Magazine, was included in esteemed UK selector Ben UFO's Rinse mix series entry, and SBTRKT & Zomby freakin' LOVE him.

Don't miss this one.

Hours: 10am - 5pm, closed Tuesdays
Cost: FREE

2012 marks a decade of the Tom Malone Prize. This acquisitive award for Australian glass artists has been the platform for the Gallery to collect some of the best work being made in the country today. The combined exhibitions feature work by 2012’s shortlisted makers, all past winners and a selection of glass works from the State Art Collection. Works have been selected to bring to view objects which have been recently purchased, and those works that precede and parallel the works of the Tom Malone Prize acquisitions. The display broadens viewers’ understanding about what is happening in the glass world and what is possible in the medium of glass.
