Zoom Meeting.
Free event.
A roundtable with hosts Iver Johnson (NY) & Sue Edwards (NC).
Topic: Organizational work needing to be done in these historic times. We are calling on any model coordinators (past or present), all models regardless of experience, each artist who draws the figure, and other people with interest in these topics.
Reasons for roundtables, discussion starters:
- Assemble a forum where questions can be asked and answered by
people with different points of view - Collect and share information about all aspects of figure modeling
- Introduce potential models to the profession in a non-threatening way
- Encourage current models to recognize their value
Join in the discussion, get connected with peers, meet coordinators, models, and artists with interests in figure drawing, then mark your calendar for our next meeting on October 23.
Contact Sue Edwards to get the Zoom link for this meeting. Or sign up for our mailing list and receive information about all OFD events with Zoom links in your inbox.
Help Us Raise Funds
We received funding to acquire a Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16 and an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil, with the condition that we raise funds to purchase a second iPad Pro. These will be available for artists to use during Open Figure Drawing sessions at no additional cost.
We are very excited to give artists this opportunity and hope you will help us raise the $1000 we need to purchase the second iPad Pro and Apple Pencil through our GoFundMe campaign.
