Life Drawing. Sundays 1:00-4:00pm year-round except holidays, summer vacation, or if the monthly
exhibition might interfere with us. Draw the model in a relaxed, non-judgmental environment. The session fee
is $8.00 and is subject to change since we operate on a nonprofit, self-sustaining basis. We provide an art model,
limited props, lighting, and chairs. Bring your own materials. Easels are generally not used because of space
limitations and sight lines. Minimum age is 18. No photography. Sessions include six 1-minute gestures, six 2-minute
gestures, a 15-minute pose, and three 35-40 minute poses. We use a different art model each week.
