Open Studios are non-instructed sessions with live models. They are free to P&C members. Non-Members are charged $20 per session. Ten workshops passes are available for $125 from the monitors, or in the office. Easels and tables are provided.
All open studios sessions are held on the third floor studio unless designated otherwise. Times are subject to change due to classes and workshops. Extended sessions may require 2 coupons or $40 from non-members. This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency and from a CityArts grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.
