Open Figure Night

Open Figure Night

 


February 19, 2026 / 6-8pm 
IAC Gallery
Fee: $20 

Join us for Open Figure Night at the gallery. Held monthly, artists of all skill levels are encouraged to come study and draw the human figure with a live model present in this art community-driven and relaxing environment. Short and long poses will be available by the model for participants to sharpen their skills.

This is a relaxed evening where artists of all levels can show up, sketch, and unwind. We’ll have a live figure model, plenty of room to spread out, and a come-as-you-are vibe—no critiques, no expectations, just a supportive space to practice and play.

Study the figure with a live model in a series of short and long poses. Students are encouraged to bring their preferred materials or use what’s available in the gallery. Easels available upon request. 

Whether you're filling a sketchbook, brushing off the rust, or trying figure drawing for the first time, you're welcome here. Bring your favorite materials, grab a seat, and enjoy two hours of drawing. Pre-registration required.
