Open Studio with Live Model — DeGallery
Tue, Oct 20, 2026
Artists looking for time with a live model can head to DeGallery for an evening open studio from 6 to 9. The session is led by T.W. "Pops" Vanya, a longtime local and award-winning painter, who is happy to offer feedback, a critique, or instruction if you ask. Otherwise, it's quiet, focused time to draw or paint from life alongside other artists. At $10, it's an easy way to keep your practice going and connect with Bryan's working art community.
