What is reFramed?

reFramed is an annual gathering of artists working with the human form and willing to understand better the practice of figurative art and to gain some insights from the other side of the easel. There will be workshops led by models, talks and a continuous life drawing program where we will hold both individual and group sessions, creating an unforgettable week that has never happened before.

You can review our program below and the accommodation possibilities on this link. The entrance includes access to all activities of the main program, accommodation for 6 nights in a Tuscan villa, all local and earthy meals (they really are amazing) and transportation from Florence train station and back. To check the full schedule of panels and speakers, please follow this link.

For artmodels: While it would be a dream to host a lifedrawing festival with 100 models, 10 stages with superpro lighting and beautiful decorations, logistics for now have a different opinion. Please reach out to us if you’d like to participate in next year's edition. We select participants based on their experience and advocacy work.

If selected, we will reach out to you to know your accommodation preferences and discuss your payment options. A deposit of 30% will be required upon approval to confirm your participation.

PROGRAM.
The full detailed program is still in the making, but you can count on drawing A LOT.

Apart from the main program, each model will present individual activities (private 1:1 sessions, photo-shoots for reference material, massage therapy, poetry recital…) in parallel you can enroll in.

You will also be able to book yourself a sauna or jacuzzi session throughout the day.

And if you need some alone time, the location is outstanding and close to many interesting activities: wine tasting, cycling, lots of hiking trails, amazing sightseeing spots (historical castle!), massage, yoga, we’ll send you the full details and how to book them!
