Figure Model Sundays: April 17 with Sarah

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. Use any drawing or painting media that suits you.

• Gratuities: If you were pleased with the model's work, we strongly encourage you to provide a modest gratuity if you're able. Art models have had a challenging past two years getting by during the pandemic, and every bit helps.
