Do I need to have previous life drawing experience to attend?

No experience is necessary! Our sessions are open to all skill levels, from beginners to professional artists. Come as you are and enjoy the process of learning and creating in a supportive environment.

Can I pay in person or is pre-payment required?

You can reserve your spot by sending an e-transfer to info@and1357.com. Cash is also accepted at the door, but we recommend pre-payment to ensure your place as space is limited.

What is the age requirement for this event?

Participants must be 18 years of age or older due to the nature of life drawing with a nude model.

Is there parking available at the venue?

Parking in the building’s lot is not available. However, there is street parking nearby for your convenience. We suggest arriving a little early to secure a spot.

What kind of supplies should I bring?

We recommend bringing your preferred drawing materials, such as a sketchboard with a clip, a paper pad or newsprint, and drawing tools like charcoal, pencils, erasers, or conte. If you're planning to paint, please bring your own painting supplies, including paints, brushes, palettes, etc...

Will any materials be provided at the event?

We do not provide art supplies, so be sure to bring everything you need to create comfortably. However, if you happen to forget something, feel free to ask other attendees—our community is always willing to share!
