Open Studio opens six-week run

Campbell River Art Gallery begins six-week, live model program for artists

Artists take note:  ‘Open Studio’ at the Campbell River Art Gallery begins its season Tuesday, February 3 for six weekly sessions.

Open Studio is a longstanding Gallery tradition that features live model figure, providing the opportunity for artists to work with live models for the past 20 years. Artists gather together to paint, sketch or sculpt from a different live model each week. The range of five models for this session provides the group with a variety of body shapes and posing styles. Each model includes long poses, which give participants time to complete their work. It brings together artists in the community and the surrounding region and allows for creative dialogue among the participants.

Open Studio will take place every Tuesday from February 3 to March 10 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The drop-in fee to participate is $12.50 (GST included). Artists can also pre-register for all six sessions at a reduced rate of $62.50.
