We're building a new look for this site, along with a new registration & booking system. For now, booking continues on our current system — click here to schedule. Nothing changes for current members: your account, history, and tickets will all carry over when we switch.

About

An artist seen from behind at their easel, red conté crayon in hand, a blank sheet of paper in front of them, and framed figure drawings hung on the wall behind.

Our mission

Basic Inquiry — legally The Vancouver Life Drawing Society — is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization providing high-quality life drawing sessions, gallery shows, and educational opportunities. Everyone is welcome, from beginners to seasoned artists.

Land acknowledgment
