The Art List New York City is a guide to figure drawing, painting, sculpture, and the artists, models, and studios that make up New York City’s life-art community.
There are dozens of places across the city where artists can draw from the figure, paint from a model, work in clay, study anatomy, or simply spend an evening making art alongside other people. But finding them isn’t always easy. Events are scattered across individual studio websites, social media pages, and word of mouth.
The Art List brings them together in one place.
Here you’ll find a growing list of New York City studios and upcoming sessions, workshops, open studios, and other events for artists and anyone interested in working from the figure.
For Artists
Whether you’re looking for a weekly figure drawing session, a long-pose painting opportunity, a sculpture class, or somewhere new to work, the goal is simple: make it easier to find what’s happening in New York.
For Models
Models are an essential part of the life-art community. The Art List aims to make it easier for models to connect with studios in NYC looking for figure, portrait, and art models. Click here if you’re interested in modeling for a class.
For Studios
If you run a figure drawing, painting, or sculpture studio in New York City, we’d like to hear from you and feature you on the Art List!
“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.”
— Pablo Picasso
