MODEL SESSIONS

AT SEMIAHMOO ART & REC CENTER

Life Drawing

The Semiahmoo Recreation and Art Center will sponsor an “open” life drawing session, Friday mornings 10 am – 12:30noon,  from Sept 16th thru December 2 (12 weeks). Tony O’Regan and/or Susan Falk will organize models (draped & undraped) and room, lighting, etc. The Center will commit to sessions every Friday, if it proves viable and this would be repeated after Christmas.

The sessions are ‘informal’ in the sense that there is no formal instruction.  Participants pay $50 for 5 session parcels, which can be spread throughout the 12 weeks. Members of the Arts Council can have 6 sessions for the price of 5. There will be a subscriber/ attendee list at the door for name check-off. We may consider promoting a show at the end (at least on the internet). Payment/registration can be made at the Arts council front desk when you arrive or beforehand.
