Gage Academy of Art

Open Studios​​​​​​​

Artists from Gage and the community are invited to work independently from a live costumed or nude model at Gage Capitol Hill practicing drawing, painting, or sculpting the figure. No formal instruction. A studio monitor is present to time the model and set poses. Sessions last around 3 hours!

There are three different types of Open Studios at Gage Academy of Art:

  1. Weekend Open Studios;
  2. Hosted Open Studios;
  3. Reserved Sculpting Studios

Weekend Open Studios

Gage has open studios sessions available every Saturday (9:30am - 12:30pm) and Sunday (1:30pm - 4:30pm) for drawing and painting. Saturdays are short poses, starting with 1-, 2- & 5-minute poses on 1st Saturdays; 5-, 12.5, & 25-minutes poses on 2nd Saturdays; 25-minute poses on 3rd Saturdays; and a single long pose on 4th & any 5th Saturdays. Sunday sessions are always single long poses. All sessions are nude unless clearly specified on the listing as clothed/draped/costumed.

Hosted Open Studios

Hosted open studio sessions occur during the weekdays and are hosted by Gage instructors. These sessions are for students who want access to instructors for guidance and advice. Instructors vary from quarter to quarter.

Reserved Sculpting Studios

In the tradition of all professional art schools, Gage offers drop-in sculpture studios Wednesdays during the academic year. Artists work independently from the model on a drop-in basis, gaining hands-on practice in sculpting the figure.
