What we’re about

This Meetup Group is organized by the Austin Visual Arts Association who offers our volunteer-run, long-standing life drawing program to the Austin area arts community several times a week as an opportunity for artists to gather and draw from life in an informal setting. Our monitors are all volunteers. Our building is historic and raw. Our workspace is not fancy but a great place to hone your skills.

What is lifedrawing? Drawing the human figure sharpens artistic skill. Many artists consider this study to be the best way to learn how to draw. We have people of all ranges in experience, from the complete beginner to the very experienced. Bring your own art supplies; AVAA provides easels and artist benches. 

The studios posted as Meetups meet at the Austin Visual Arts Association, 3707 Home Lane, off 38th Street, between Speedway and Guadalupe. Be aware, the front door does not face Home Lane, it actually faces 38th**.**
