What we're about
Tuesday Night Life Drawing is slowly and cautiously opening up and allowing walk-ins again, subject to the protocols listed below. This abundance of caution is to ensure availability of models — and participation of artists — until improved public health conditions justify easing of restrictions.
Argos Studio/Gallery has moved from its former location on Luisa Street. It is now located at 1012 Marquez Place, Building 1, Suite 103A.
***
Current protocols for in-person attendance:
1) Proof of vaccination required: a PDF (or photo) of your vaccination card must be emailed to Eric Thomson, Gallery Director at Argos Studio/Gallery. Open an email form and type the following email address into the address field: tng@sisna.com (A Meetup bug prevents us from making this email address a working link). This is a one-time task.
Or, present documentation upon your arrival to the studio. This email address is only for proof of vaccination, not for general correspondence.
2) An attendance limit of 8 artists has been set for the immediate future. The first 8 artists that RSVP “ATTEND” on the Meetup site will be admitted.
Additional artists who RSVP will be put on a waiting list by Meetup, in order of response. An artist that was in the first group of 8, but can’t attend, must go to the Meetup site and change his/her RSVP response.
Meetup will remove you from the list, then notify the next person in line that a spot is available.
3) Artists will be masked until further notice.
The protocols listed above are temporary.
We are optimistic that these protocols and the attendee limit will soon be less restrictive.

Our models use a variety of poses and the poses vary in duration, from two-minute warmup drawings to 45-minute poses over a three-hour period.
This weekly Santa Fe drawing group was started in 1969 by artist Eli Levin. Both amateur and professional artists have participated throughout the years, including all skill levels, from beginner to accomplished. The group is not a drawing class, but a drawing experience made available on a weekly basis.
There's a $10 fee (cash only) per attendee for each evening session. The fee is used to pay the model fee, room rental expenses, and to host an annual exhibition of drawings that were created during Tuesday night drawing sessions.
This is not a silent drawing group. Conversation Is a part of the Tuesday Night Drawing Group experience.
