WALK-IN Ticket for Open Figure Drawing at Manifest Drawing Center

As Manifest's oldest running program, operating continuously for nearly two decades, the Open Figure Life Drawing sessions continue to provide the Greater Cincinnati region a valuable life-drawing opportunity in which professionals, students, novices, teachers, and the creative public can work side-by-side in common pursuit of shared learning around the discipline of drawing while working from the nude (or occasionally clothed) model.

The Drawing Center's relaxed yet vibrant, no-pressure environment inevitably leads to new learning, support, and productivity that complements formal study (at the high school, college, or professional level), or other non-figure-based artistic work. Each session is moderated by Manifest Associates who are trained and well-qualified artists and/or instructors at the college level.

— Tuesday and Wednesday sessions typically feature one-week poses (a new model each week, a single long pose per session).

— Thursday sessions are two-week poses (the same model for two Thursdays in the same pose).

— Sunday sessions are focused on the portrait and offer clothed models.

As of May 16, 2022 these programs have officially transitioned to Manifest's new permanent home on Central Parkway in Clifton near Camp Washington!
