The public is invited to enjoy and celebrate the human form in all it's glory. Nude, Semi-nude, costumed and portraiture - the beauty of the body comes in many shapes and sizes.
Figure drawing has been an artists tradition and exercise for hundreds of years.
Drawing the human form from life is a wonderful and challenging experience. Nothing sharpens your drawing skills like it. Over the years local artists have developed their skills and in the process have produced some beautiful art. Unfortunately, there are few places that will show nudes because of concern for offending people. This show is a haven for the artists who are inspired by the human form but have no place to show it. We celebrate the nude and the artwork that was inspired by it. Please join us at the reception on April 23rd from 7:00-9:00. Meet the artists, enjoy the art and choose your favorite. Maybe you will find a piece that inspires you to take it home with you!
