Monthly Live Model Sessions in the Gallery 2024
Monthly live model sessions in the Main Gallery
Artists are invited to join us in-person in the gallery for sketching, drawing, painting and rendering from a live clothed model. Open to artists of all skill levels, these sessions are self-guided and intended to provide time and space for members of our local community to share in this art practice. Participants must supply their own rendering materials.

10 minute break.
60 minute pose (with breaks every 20-30 minutes).
