Figure This!

Saturday, June 14 - Saturday, June 21, Everyday from 11am-4pm

Opening Reception: Friday, June 13, from 5-7pm

Figure This! is the Cooperstown Art Association’s weekly community figure drawing group, operating regularly for the last two years featuring a rotating roster of live models and an open call to all community artists who wish to refine their artistry and deepen their technique. These artists were invited to display their work from these sessions, in conjunction with Han’s figurative artwork, to help give the viewer an extensive perspective of the utilization of the human figure in the visual arts. If you would like to learn more about Figure This!, and how to participate in the future, please contact the Cooperstown Art Association at (607) 547-9777. The exhibit was made possible by a grant from the Community Foundation of Otsego County.
