Community Figure Drawing Session (September)

Come draw with us in the spacious Kala gallery space! We will have a model for the full 3 hours during which participants can practice their figure drawing at their own pace, work on incorporating a figure into an existing piece, or use the time however they like! Kala staff members – who are also practicing artists – will facilitate the session. Kala will provide drawing boards and standing easels, but recommend that participants bring tools and surfaces of their choice to the session. Kala will have limited basic materials for general use (such as charcoal, graphite, and newsprint). The session will include a series of short poses (30 seconds – 5min) as well as some longer poses (10 – 20min).

Accessibility – Please email classes@kala.org prior to enrolling so we can assess if we are able to provide proper accommodations.
