Your questions are more than welcome.

Do I need to book? Not necessarily. The classes can fill up quickly so it might be wise to book ahead. Get tickets here. If you prefer to operate on a whim, check that the class isn’t full on trybooking.com before you walk in. We accept cash and EFT payments at the door.

How much is the class? We have casual classes for $21. This cost includes the use of our art materials, butcher paper and drawing boards.

Has Life Drawing moved? Indeed! We’ve relocated to Coates Community Arts. Find us at Suite 6, Level 4, 20 Collins Street.

I’ve never drawn before, is this going to be an issue? Our classes are structured but untutored. Give it a go. All skill levels are participating.

How long is the class? The classes are 2 hours from 7:00 to 9:00pm. We open at 6:30pm so please don’t be late. If you need to leave early, we have a break from 8:00 to 8:20pm. This is a good time to sneak away.

I need to cancel my ticket. Can I get a refund? Absolutely. Email us before 1:00pm on the day of your booked class to request a refund or change of date. If your email request is for a change of date, make sure you include the new class date in the email.

Can I bring my bicycle or electronic scooter inside the gallery? No. We don’t have room to store these items.

Is the class accessible to wheelchair users? Unfortunately, not. The Coates building entrance is 70cm wide. It is a glass door that opens outwards (towards the street) and is manually operated. The Coates Building has no accessible toilets. We have made repeated requests to the building’s management to make these improvements.

Can I buy a gift for someone? Of course. Email us and we can make a gift certificate for you.

Can I be a model? If you have no prior experience life modelling for a group, we won’t hire you. If you’d like to express your interest in modelling for us, please send a short email including:

– Contact phone number.
– Your modelling style and physical description.
– Your modelling CV (at least 3-months experience is necessary).
– All models require an ABN or will need to provide a Statement by Supplier form available from ATO website.

For information about becoming a life model please contact The Life Models’ Society.
