Guests are welcome to join our Grand Valley Artists Photo Group monthly meetings and critiques! We meet the first Tuesday of every month, from 7pm to 9pm in the Grand Valley Artists studio located on 29th Street.
Mentoring classes on solving problems with a work in progress or an older painting that could be improved, or even help in just getting started!
Interested in something a little more independent? Or looking for a life model? Join us for our studio sessions!
Cash is preferred for payment for these sessions.
Clothed Model Figure Sketch meets the third and fourth Thursday evenings every month for 2½ hours from 7:00-9:30 pm with the exception of holidays. The models will be wearing some kind of extraordinary clothing; this may be a period costume, a Cosplay costume, a wedding dress, a tuxedo, a uniform, etc. The cost is $10 for members, $15 for nonmembers. For all studio sessions, artists bring their choice of art media; easels and drawing benches are provided by GVA.
GVA's Plein Air Group meets on Wednesdays during the season (spring through fall). Times and locations will be posted soon, and will depend on the weather and time of year. Member updates are provided via email.
