The NYC Art Models Guild organizing committee spearheads a collective of professional art models across New York City. Use the tabs above to inform and educate yourself and colleagues in your work places and spaces that support the Arts & Humanities.The documents are downloadable for ease of distribution or posted in the workplace. The NYC Art Models started in 2023 to establish and uphold dignity, respect and living wages in our workplaces. We also like to have fun. Thank you for exploring our virtual home as we work together to bring HUMANITY back to the ARTS where a model is a pillar.

Models Socials

Once a month The NYC Art Models Guild holds a free and fun hang known as a MODELS SOCIAL. Just what it sounds like, we socialize basking in each others company with good old fasihioned face time for a few hours. Working in studios is often done alone hustling around Gotham from sunup to sundown. Where is your tribe? If you'd like to share a beverage, some snacks, laughs and most importantly camraderie, just send us an email and we'll let you know where we meeting next.

Advocacy & Support

"art modeling has been --a poorly understood / disrespected physical job, fragmented workplaces with workers in multiple roles, fear of retaliation, a culture of working until you just can't..."

At the NYC Art Models Guild, we work together advocating for the rights and recognition of art models across the community. We work tirelessly to ensure fair treatment, a living wage,  promote our contributions, and provide support and resources to empower models in their careers.
