These terms & conditions outline our code of conduct which we expect ALL participants to abide by.

Participants must be 18 years of age or older, and must check “yes” in response to the question “Are you 18 years of age or older?” If you are under the age of 18 and check “yes” in response to this question, you are committing fraud, and you, your parents, guardians, extended family and other representatives will be personally liable to the model and Arts Alliance of Stratford for any injury, damage, liability or harm which results from your fraud and dishonesty.

Computer and Zoom videoconferencing proficiency: This figure drawing session will take place on the Zoom videoconferencing application. It is the responsibility of all attendees to develop their own proficiency in this software before attending any of our online programs and workshops. Arts Alliance of Stratford does not provide training for Zoom or any other videoconferencing software. An attendee’s ability to find the model and pin the model’s video is solely the responsibility of each attendee. Arts Alliance of Stratford does not, and will not offer technical support for video, audio or any Zoom-specific or computer issues related to the device the attendee is using to connect to either the Figure Drawing Via Zoom meeting or the Long Pose Figure Study meeting.

To keep the model on screen at all times, each attendee must “pin” the model’s video. Instructions for pinning a video are here. For any attendees who have not reviewed these instructions, Arts Alliance of Stratford will not offer technical support for how to pin the model during the meeting.

By clicking the “Submit” button on the registration page,, you are agreeing to these terms & conditions in its entirety.

We encourage artists of all levels who wish to draw from a live model. Be considerate of the model and each other, and we will have a great session.
