Figure Drawing
Open Studios, Workshops,
and Continuing Education Classes
in the United States and Canada... Over
550 listings and growing!
This is a directory of places
where artists can sketch, draw, paint, or sculpt live figure models,
including instructed classes and uninstructed sessions. Drawing
groups come and go, and schedules change, so it is wise to confirm
with the organizer before attending—website, email and/or
telephone is listed for each group. See submission
guidelines if you would like a free listing.
Please report any defunct groups
or nonfunctioning links to directory artmodelbook.com.
If you find this resource useful, please
