The Figure Society Symposium is the only event that celebrates the millennia-long tradition of creating works of art from the live, Nude model.
Join us in a giant, open studio atmosphere where you can work alongside some of the world's premier sculptors and painters, and be inspired by world-class models. 5 hours of model time per day, 15 hours total; and ample time and space for Q&A, discussion, debate, etc.
Daily continental breakfasts and a Saturday evening semiformal cocktail and dinner party are all included in the ticket.
