This standard fee now offers each participant 10 sessions across a three month period starting with the first day attended. Note that we are no longer using a 'term system' with specific rigid start/stop dates. Participants' visits must occur in the track selected throughout the period (Tues. or Weds.). Enrollment is non-transferrable. Session passes begin on the first day attended and expire when ten sessions have been attended or three months elapse, whichever comes first.

studios are outfitted with professional equipment, furniture, and study aids.
Drawing horses and easels as well as storage shelf space are available on a first-come first served basis. Supplementary seating, including chairs, stools, and cushions is also available. Participants should provide for their own supplies and drawing board, and assume all risk for items and art left at the studio.

Tuesday track will provide a mix of gesture poses for warmup and usually one 90 minute pose for the evening. At the moderator's discretion multiple shorter poses may be set up during any given meeting. ($80 / $40 student for a ten-session pass).
Wednesday track will provide 2-day or 3-day poses as the norm. This track is designed to offer
the multi-day poses so larger or more refined works can be completed. ($80 / $40 student for a ten-session pass.)
