Model Expectations:
We strive to have a safe and supportive environment for both our artists and models. Our classroom is upstairs and we have a high caliber gallery downstairs. Because of this, we have a few expectations for our models:
- Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the class you are scheduled for is set to begin in order to get changed and prepare for the class.
- If you cannot make a class you are scheduled for, please let our modeling coordinator know as soon as possible so we can arrange another model.
- Please wear shoes when you arrive and leave the gallery. You are more than welcome to walk around upstairs without shoes during breaks but we require shoes when you are in the gallery space.
- Bring and wear a rope or appropriate cover up for any time you are not modeling on the stage. We have an office and private bathroom available for changing in and out of clothes.
- If you are uncomfortable for any reason whatsoever, please bring it up with our staff. Our director typically monitors classes. We do not want anyone to feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
- Please do not talk while posing on the stage unless you are working with the artists to pose. It can be distracting. You are more than welcome to chat with the artists during breaks. Do not feel you have to chat with anyone if you do not want to.
- If you are asked about photographing your pose, do not feel obligated to say yes. If you do agree, but then change your mind, do not hesitate to let us know. We want to make sure you are comfortable. Do not feel like you need to consent just because you are being paid. We want you to feel comfortable and safe.
These expectations may be subject to change as things come up.
