GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION
SCHEDULE
Sessions are now offered on a weekly basis on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the year. Our CALENDAR is the best place to confirm the status of a session or course. In general, major holidays or weather emergencies (or state or city-mandated pandemic shutdowns) are the only times sessions are not offered.
SCHEDULE:
Tuesdays |
7-9pm |
Wednesdays |
7-9pm |
Thursdays |
7-9pm |
This schedule represents our return to regular Open Figure Sessions but still at a slightly reduced capacity in order to maximize safety through social distancing. As demand increases we will expand the number of scheduled sessions, or adjust accordingly, and this page will be updated.
Set-up and clean-up activities will be slightly modified. Please listen to all instructions from your moderator in order to ensure efficient and safe participation. |
Note: on very rare occasions a session may be canceled on a particular day due to overlap with a Manifest instructed course or public artist demo scheduled for the same space. Communications about such a closure will be made in advance, and noted on our calendar, and all 10-week block participants will have their registrations extended by one session.

Entrance to Drawing Center programs at M1
LOCATION NOTE: Open Figure Life Drawing will be among the first programs to transition to Manifest's new home at 3464 Central Parkway (M1) as of May 17, 2022.
The 13,000 square foot historic 90 year old French Normandy style building on its one-acre site in Clifton near Camp Washington is easily accessible from the entire Greater Cincinnati region. On-site parking, grounds, and the welcoming neighborhood of Clifton Hills promise to make this permanent home for Manifest an ideal place to experience, practice, and learn.
We can't wait to share the amazing space and environment with participants! Please bear in mind our transition to the new space will take time, and so various procedures may evolve over the coming months and the next two years as we develop plans for major renovations. Please be patient with us as we grow!
As always, drawing horses and easels are available on a first-come first served basis. Supplementary seating, including chairs, stools, and cushions is also available. Participants should provide for their own supplies and drawing board.

DRAWING LEAGUE MEMBERSHIPS
We've traditionally offered these passes in order to encourage a higher level of participation by individuals across the year. We are pausing the offering of new packages until our pandemic adjustments are solidified and/or the crisis has passed. We will update this page when we feel it is possible to expand the options.
