2. Market Demand & Key Hirers

The hirers in this niche market can be categorized into three main sectors:

• Academic Institutions: Major institutions such as the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), LASALLE College of the Arts, and the National University of Singapore (NUS) require models for their Fine Arts departments. These positions often pay standard institutional rates and offer regular hours during academic semesters.
• Private Art Studios & Academies: Commercial studios (e.g., The Art Studio, My Art Pencil, Arteastiq) frequently hold life drawing sessions. These venues often seek models for evening or weekend sessions to accommodate working professionals attending classes.
• Community Groups & Societies: Organizations like the Urban Sketchers Singapore and various community centers (CCs) organize non-instructional "jam sessions" where artists gather to sketch. These groups often operate on a smaller budget but provide consistent work.

Singapore is safe, but studios are private spaces.

• Chaperones: Reputable groups always have a monitor (a second staff member) in the room.
• Robes: You wear a robe until the drawing starts.
• The law: Nudity for artistic purposes is legal in private studios. It is not legal in public spaces or if sexualized.
