As an in-person participant, you may pre-pay using the form below, or walk-in and pay cash (exact change appreciated). Feel free to pay for as many sessions as you wish. You may purchase the punch card online, and pick it up in-person at your next session.

If you are new, Welcome! Please check out our Participant Guidelines before registering.

For In-Person Participants:
In-Person sessions will be taking place in the Museum School Drawing Studio, our middle studio originally built for Life Drawing!

Sessions begin promptly at 9:30am. Participants should arrive between 9:15 and 9:25am to set up – We ask that late-comers wait for a model break to enter.

When you arrive, please add your name and payment method to the sign-in sheet, where you may also sign-up to be a monitor.

Volunteer monitors: we are always looking for life drawing participants to volunteer as monitors; monitor duties include timing the model, making sure everyone fills out the sign-in sheet, and giving change to people paying cash. Each time you monitor, you receive a free session in exchange.

In-Person Life Drawing : 

• Location: Life Drawing will be taking place on the second floor of PAAM in our Museum School.  Our Museum School door is located by our Staff Parking lot off of Bangs Street (please note: we cannot accommodate student parking). Sessions will be in our beautiful Drawing Studio, the middle studio to the right of the stairs.
• Timing: Punctuality is important, please arrive before 9:30 to set up. If you are late, we ask that you kindly wait to enter during a break as to not disrupt the model.
• Code of Conduct:
  • Treat the model with respect at all times.
  • If you want the model in a specific position, illustrate it with your own body. Respect that a model can refuse suggestions for any reason.
  • Never touch the model
  • Use the model’s first name when addressing them

Privacy Information for Models

PAAM does not release model contact information. If an artist is interested in hiring a model(s) and asks for contact, we will instead give the model the artist’s contact information to respect the privacy of models. Models may give out their private contact information to an artist using their personal judgement; saying no to working with someone is always okay.

Photographs of the model are not permitted.

Models who experience discomfort for any reason should not hesitate to stop the behavior, speak up, take a break, and report their experience to a member of PAAM staff.
