Every Nude Art LA event is a tapestry woven from the creativity, courage, and connection of our artists, models, performers, and guests. As we prepare for our next show, we’re taking a moment to look back at some of the most unforgettable moments that have defined our journey so far.
The First Show: A Leap of Faith
March 2018 marked the beginning of something extraordinary. With a borrowed gallery space, a handful of passionate artists, and a small but enthusiastic crowd, we set out to prove that the human form could be celebrated in a way that was honest, inclusive, and deeply artistic. The energy in the room was electric—guests mingled, artists shared their stories, and the first live figure sketching session brought everyone together in a shared act of creation.
A Community Grows
By September 2018 and March 2019, Nude Art LA had found its rhythm. Our events became known for their open, welcoming atmosphere and the diversity of art on display—from painting and photography to sculpture and mixed media. One of our favorite memories: a spontaneous collaboration between a live musician and a body painter, with the audience joining in to create a mural that captured the spirit of the night.
Performances That Dazzle
Live performance has always been at the heart of Nude Art LA. Whether it’s an aerialist soaring above the crowd, a pole dancer turning movement into poetry, or a burlesque performer blending humor and artistry, these acts transform our events into immersive experiences. We’ve watched audiences gasp, cheer, and even join in—proving that art is most powerful when it’s shared.
The Return: February 2024
After a long pause, our February 2024 relaunch was both a homecoming and a new beginning. We embraced a smaller, more intimate format but kept the same commitment to quality and community. The highlight? Seeing guests who’d attended our very first show return—this time bringing friends, family, and even their own art supplies to join the figure drawing session.
Art That Lasts
Some of the most meaningful moments happen after the lights go down. We’ve watched new friendships form, artists connect with collectors, and guests leave inspired to pursue their own creative paths. And for those who fall in love with a piece at our shows, there’s good news: much of the art from past Nude Art LA events is still available for purchase through our partner, Art Outbreak.
