Figure Drawing Classes, Workshops, Open Studios
Art schools, studios, and groups in the United States and Canada
Is your new year's resolution to improve your art skills? Take a figure drawing class or join a drop-in group.
This is a directory of art schools, ateliers, and studios where artists can paint, sculpt, or draw live art models.
Life Drawing groups come and go, and schedules change, so it is wise to confirm with the organizer before attending.
Please report any defunct groups or broken links to directory artmodelbook.com
