OPAL’s Annual Figure and Portrait exhibition is juried this year! For decades OPAL has recognized the importance of figure study to artists of all skill levels and media and is proud to continue offering affordable live model life drawing sessions in the studio.
This juried national call seeks to showcase a diverse spectrum of work based on the human form yet pushing the boundaries of how we depict ourselves and the bodies we inhabit. All media welcome. See exhibition guidelines for size restrictions and other details on the Submittable entry portal.
