The life drawing scene in Perth is pretty active. At last count it was about 20 regular groups that I know of and I am sure there are more.
I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information below and will not be operating this page in 2020. This is because better information is coming your way [below] via models and organisers themselves.
Also life drawing groups are becoming a little more co-ordinated with one another which means that it is now possible to catch a life drawing gig probably every day of the week. Best, there is a real sense of sharing information and support for groups just forming. As this list is just starting out, let me know if you have a regular group and I will add it to this list or update your information.
There is also now a ‘Life Drawing in Perth’ Facebook page that is really good to join if you want to keep up to date with gigs and models info.
For models there is a Perth Life Models Facebook page, but I am not sure if it is kept up to date. A good way to keep up with life drawing news and gigs in Perth is to go to the Life Drawing in Perth Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/552646644936115/
Some of the major life drawing groups are;
Floreat Group, now the Dalkeith group.
