Life Drawing Sessions
at Maplewood Studio
Our Next Portrait Session: the Artsy-est Food Drive!
Next life drawing session, we’re trying something different!
This will be a portrait session, and we’ll be inviting participants to take turns posing. Instead of our regular entry fee, we’re asking everyone to bring in food bank donations.
As this is a clothed session, it will also be open to students aged 16 and up.
Please note: even though we are all supportive, this is not an art lesson! Participants must bring their own supplies and will not receive educational guidance. Please be respectful of everyone’s comfort by using low-odor or odorless art supplies and abstaining from wearing strongly scented products.

Our official date and time are TBA. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram, or join the Life Drawing Moncton group on Facebook.

All donations will be taken to Second Mile Foodbank after the event.

We would love for you to join us in the artmaking fun, but if you’re unable to linger, we will be present 30 minutes before and after the session if you’d like to drop off donations.
To avoid disrupting attendees, we kindly ask that you not enter the workspace during our session, but we will leave a drop-off bin in the foyer for your donations. -
The food bank is in need of popular staples, such as:
Kraft Dinner
Peanut Butter
Rice
Pasta
Canned tomatoes
Canned veggies
Instant noodles
Canned entrees (ie: Chef Boyardee)
Please only bring non-perishable food items.

Our long pose sessions consist of a single pose over a three-hour session, with two short breaks in between. Participants are welcome to bring painting supplies provided they use odorless or low-odor solvents (please confirm with Nat beforehand). Like our life drawing sessions, this is not an art lesson, and supplies are not included. However, we welcome all experience levels and promote an inclusive artmaking environment!

Please note: To ensure we meet our minimum attendance requirement, everyone must book and pay in advance for this event!
About our life drawing sessions
These sessions are a great opportunity to hone your drawing skills in a relaxed, supportive environment. Beginners aged 18 and up are welcome to attend!
Entry is $20 at the door, or $15 (non-refundable) when paid in advance. Supplies are not included, but we do have some easels available to use on a first-come, first-served basis.
Drawing sessions are two hours long, beginning with short warm-up poses, which gradually increase in time over the course of the evening.
We will be holding life drawing on a monthly basis, so be sure to follow Nat or Caitlin on Instagram to stay up to date on our next session!
Please note: For the comfort of everyone in attendance, we kindly request that you use odorless or low-odor art supplies and avoid wearing strongly scented products.
