COPA Indoors Winter 2024-25 

The first session will be held on Saturday October 12. If the weather is good outside, our artists have the option of doing either plein air or portrait, their choice.

COPA's indoor winter sessions are held thru late March at Dublin Friendship Village.

Each of these Saturday sessions runs from 9 - Noon focusing on live models, many of whom are residents of DFV (some will be repeats from last winter).  Unless noted otherwise, all sessions will be held in the Muirfield Room, which is on the second level (one up from the entrance area).  After you self-sign in at the kiosk, simply go towards the information desk and turn right, to the elevator a short distance away.  Upon exiting the elevator on the second floor, turn right and follow the signs down the hallway to the room.

There will be approximately 20 sessions. We will avoid the Thanksgiving and Christmas weekends. There will be no charge to the artists for the sessions. All artists are requested to bring a drop cloth to protect the floors, no matter what medium.

We again will have an exhibit opportunity in the gallery of Friendship Village. It will be in February, and this time it will be exclusively portraits that have been produced by the artists.
