Ms Popa, the women's drawing event went really well. Great artists like Roc Steady (who ran things wonderfully) and Laura Alvarez did great work. The models were exquisite (thanks Sabrina and Jyda) and they even started with a great and deep discussion about the issues they face and the importance of a safe space to create. I heard this all 2nd hand, since I stayed in my little studio while they made things happen . All in all, a fine event #ivanvelezjr #mrpapo #mspapo #bca #southbronxspaceworks #teachingartistlife #drinkndraw #womensart #laraalvarez (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Ku7ozF1xv/?igshid=svykp8zfgsyk

My Bronx. Have a rare saturday library art program at Hunts Point Library to run today. 1pm and open to kids and teens. Come on down. And tonight's the first all-woman drawing group hosted by Ms Popa (Mr Papo's tough cousin) at South Bronx Space works. It's gonna be a scorcher but our AC is on point. #nypl #ivanvelezjr #mrpapo #mspapo #bca #southbronxspaceworks #teachingartistlife #drinkndraw #teennsummerart #womensart (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0JUZVYlv2K/?igshid=1dj8q6bxjo8m3
