Access Manifest's Studio and Equipment up to 6 hours per week for independent study.
Participants registered for other instructed Manifest courses during the run-dates of Drawing Lab automatically have free access to the Lab offering during their course dates. However, registration is still required in order for Manifest to track attendance.
Manifest's Drawing Lab schedule allows registered participants to utilize the spacious and well-equipped Drawing Center Studio facility and study aids for independent and individual work on site. Resources such as adjustable steel stand/sit drawing horses, wooden easels, lights, drapery, several portrait busts, plaster models of hands and feet, a life-size "l'ecorche" anatomical model, a life-size replica of anitque torso of Venus, plaster replica of the Belvedere Torso, a full-size medical grade human skeleton, and several human skull models are all available for on-site use to Drawing Lab participants. Participants may also set up their own portrait or still-life, or take advantage of the space to spread out and work on personal visual art projects. A temporary flat-file and storage area will also be made available for Drawing Lab participants.

Drawing Lab is an ideal complement to Manifest's other course offerings expanding course participants' ability to further develop skills outside the instructed format. Drawing Lab is highly recommended to students seeking an off-campus option for continued investigation into drawing. Novices wanting to explore studio work in a safe and unintimidating environment, as well as professionals simply needing such resources are also very welcome and encouraged.
Drawing Lab has the goal to provide the space and opportunity for studio work in a busy, energetic environment where participants regularly return to make and discuss artworks. Participants are encouraged to display their works on the walls alongside figure drawings made by our open figure-session participants. It is important to note that Drawing Lab is a new program, and is still building participation and interest. While it is designed to cultivate an active community, it is not possible to guarantee that a minimum number of participants will be on-hand during any given session.
Participants may bring clothed models for portrait sitting to the open lab, however in order to avoid conflict with open figure sessions, nude models may not be used. Long-term installations, large works, still-life setups, etc. may not be left out throughout the week, however if pre-arranged they may be stored or set up on the stage with staff approval and guidance.
