Figure Model Sundays: April 3 with Sheba

The Montgomery Art Association and The Compass Atelier are partnering to offer five in-person figure model sessions on select Sundays in April and May. The 2.5-hour sessions are moderated but uninstructed, providing artists with focused practice time in the studio. Bring along any drawing or painting media that suits you.

If you're not yet comfortable joining in person, we also offer a Zoom option.
