What does "pay what you can" mean?
Part of our mission and values, is to make art more financially accessible for folks. "Pay what you can", means if you're able, the suggested contribution is $10-$15 and helps us cover the cost of running the session.

Will Cooper the dog attend the session?
It is quite possilbe our resident pup Cooper the dog will be in session with us. He is often hanging out in the galerie and aterlier.
If for any reason having a dog in the space might prevent you from attending. please email us before your visit at bonjour@highhorsegalerie.art.
Is the space accessible?
The alteliers are on the second floor. If you have questions about access or need specific informaiton before coming, please email us at bonjour@highhorsegalerie.art so we can help plan your visit.
What does undraped mean?
"Undraped" means that our model poses without clothing.
Drawing the undraped figure is a long-standing studio practice and is a great way to explore gensture, proportion, movement, and form. There is no need to aim for perfect realism or anatomy. Life drawing is about paying attention, trying things out and seeing what makes it out of your brain and onto the page.
Our models are a professional part of our session, and the space is always grounded in care, consent, and respect.
