Spend your summer Friday nights in the flow state 😌 Open Studio Fridays provide time and space for artists to draw from a live model. Each session, the model will hold a series of short poses ranging from one to twenty minutes. This is a great opportunity to draw from live models in the medium of your choice. There is no instructor present, but there will be a studio monitor.
