The Baxter Arts Centre is inviting all artists Quinte-wide to participate in open studio Life Drawing sessions. During Spring, Summer and Fall the sessions operate on Tuesday evenings 7-9:30 pm evenings enabling those who are working full-time to get their art fix. During the Winter Life Drawing switches to Thursday mornings Drawing from 10 am to 12:30 pm. Doors open at 9:30 am to allow time to set up. Each week a male or female n**e model will pose timed gestures followed by short and then longer poses. The group will draw gestures from five 2-minute poses, two at 5 minutes and then two at 10 minutes, followed by 20 minute poses until the end of the evening. There is usually a pre-registration fee for each term or season that amounts to about $12 per session. Please see the Baxter Arts Centre website for specific dates and pre-registration fees. Artists are always welcome on a drop-in basis at any session by paying $15 cash at the door. More info:
