WALK-IN Ticket for Open Figure Drawing at Manifest Drawing Center

As Manifest's oldest running program, operating continuously for two decades, the Open Figure Life Drawing sessions continue to provide the Greater Cincinnati region a valuable life-drawing opportunity in which professionals, students, novices, teachers, and the creative public can work side-by-side in the common pursuit of shared learning around the discipline of drawing while working from the nude (or occasionally clothed) model.

The Drawing Center's relaxed yet vibrant, no-pressure environment inevitably leads to new learning, support, and productivity that complements formal study (at the high school, college, or professional level), or other non-figure-based artistic work. Each session is moderated by Manifest Associates who are trained and well-qualified artists and/or instructors at the college level.

— Tuesday sessions feature one pose (a new model each week, a single pose per session, with occasional warmup gestures). 6:30-9:30pm

— Wednesday sessions follow the Tuesday format. 7-9pm

— Thursday sessions are two-week poses (the same model for two Thursdays in the same pose). 6:30-9:30pm

— Friday sessions follow the Tuesday format, offering a daytime option. 11:30a-1:30pm

— Sunday sessions are focused on the portrait and offer clothed models. 10a-12pm. (*Most first Sundays of the month are special long-pose sessions, 10a-4pm with a one hour break for lunch)
