Unleash your artistic side at Saturday Sittings, our life drawing sessions hosted monthly at the Gallery.

With a mix of timed short and long poses, you are invited to bring your own materials or use the basic supplies we provide.

Saturday Sittings run from 2 pm to 4 pm—please arrive early to set up. We'll take a short kaputī break halfway through. This is a koha event, with all contributions going directly to our models. Friends and whānau are welcome!

Interested in modeling? Contact us—we're always looking for sitters. Everyone is welcome to join!
