Figure Model Sundays: April 16 with Nataliya

MAA Figure Model Sundays returns!  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 3-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.

Event dates and models for our first 5 sessions include:

• March 5, 2023 - Sheba
  
• March 12, 2023 - Moe
  
• March 19, 2023 - Sarah
  
• April 2, 2023 - Jalene
  
• April 16, 2023 - Nataliya
  

(If any changes to the above schedule occur, MAA will post as soon as practicable.  Event details below are for the April 16 session only; other sessions will be posted separately.)
