About Us
Welcome! The New York City Art Models Guild is an association of professional art models working in the NYC metro area. True posers for various categories of creators in the visual arts of drawing, painting, sculpting, fashion, illustration, animation and photography, our models bring magic and inspiration to whatever environment we step into. We offer this site as a hub of information for art models, educators and artists who need to understand and implement the standards and protocols by which to conduct sessions using a live model. Explore the tabs to inform and educate yourself, employers and colleagues on Industry Standard, T.A.M,E., Drawing Sessions, and Membership.The documents are downloadable for ease of distribution or posting in the workplace. The NYC AMG began in 2023 to uphold dignity, respect, proper working conditions and living wages in our workplaces. We also like to have fun. Thank you for exploring our virtual home as we work together to bring HUMANITY back to the ARTS in NYC.
