POSED

Posed is a live drawing and painting event in the gallery where regional artists come together to work from two models draped en scene. The goal of this event is to provide a space for artists to hone their skills in a collaborative environment. This event takes place in the STLAG gallery, so the public is welcome to walk through our gallery space and catch the artists in action.

Artists who wish to participate in the event are encouraged to register prior to the event to secure a spot. Walk-ins are welcome based on availability. There is a $20 artist registration fee which goes towards model fees.
