TRIBECA — A TriBeCa art show is ringing in the holidays with a little naked cheer.
New York Academy of Art’s Deck the Walls event on Dec. 12 will include a live portrait drawing session with nude models. Attendees can watch students at the fine arts graduate school draw the models, or they can try creating a drawing themselves.
The free art show, which includes an open bar, will also feature more than 300 paintings created by former and current students at the school.
All paintings will be sold for $200, $300 or $400, and will be displayed on separate walls designated by price. Guests will be given stickers, and once they place a sticker on an item, it's theirs.
Organizers say they expect more than 500 people at the show, which will be held in the academy's 111 Franklin St. gallery from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Those attending should RSVP by emailing deckthewalls@nyaa.edu or visiting this website.
