Live Model Sessions

About this event

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.

Thursdays from 5:30pm - 8:00pm

Ages 14 and up

Cost per session: $5 for DCA Members, $10 for non-members. Payable on day of session. Free for students ages 14-22.

Art Models: If you have experience modeling for artists, we would love to hear from you. Experience isn’t necessary, but if you have never sat for a session before, we would need you to come to a session and watch how it’s done. This is a paid opportunity.
