Galleries, Exhibitions & Cultural Groups
Early Masterworks have extensive experience working with museums, galleries, and cultural institutes to host special themed life drawing and creative workshops inspired by current exhibitions.
With a guest host club and thousands of members from various cultural and creative backgrounds, we were able to organise extraordinary nights that brought hundreds of people together through life drawing, live music, professional models, costumes, unique inspiring themes and creative prompts.
We organised creative life drawing workshops for National Gallery, SOHO HOUSE, Open House Festival London, Urbanism/Architecture Bi-City Biennale (UABB), The European Biennial of Contemporary Art, Drawing Room, Firepit Art Gallery and fundraiser life-drawing events for The Listening Place and The Pink Ribbon Foundation.

We cater for a variety of ages from 9+. These workshops can be modified according to age group (9+, 14+, 16+).

FAQs
What’s included?
We’ll provide all art supplies, paper, drawing boards, and costumes if needed. Additionally, we’ll take care of booking the model for the event.
Setup?
We will bring all the necessary equipment, so easy access to the location is preferred. Please reserve 30 mins for us to arrive early to set up and arrange the room layout for the event.
What’s needed?
We require a spacious, well-lit venue that can comfortably accommodate the requested number of seated participants. The setup includes chairs and a table for art supplies. Additionally, a designated area is needed for the model to prepare before the event.
Are the models fully naked?
Yes, our professional models are fully nude in our standard sessions. However, for private hire events, we’re pleased to tailor the experience — you can request partial coverage, themed outfits, or accessories to suit your group’s comfort level and creative vision.
Do you bring music?
While we don’t provide large speakers, we have curated playlists designed for the events. You can also select the music you want to play at private events. For events with live music, please respect the musicians’ musical choices.
Is photography allowed?
Photography of the model is not allowed during the event. However, for private events, a photography life model can be booked for a higher fee, with the condition that no extreme nudity is posted on social media/in public.

The activity is designed to minimise mess. We avoid using liquid-based art supplies for a cleaner experience.
