FAQ

What can the model's wear?

This is a NUDE FIGURE session. For the most part, the models are completely naked. We do ask the model to undress to their comfort level, so on a rare occasion, a model can be slightly covered. This can occasionally include accessories, a sash, or even underwear. 

Is the Free Rnage back brewery room private? 

Technically, no. As stated in the Model Sign Up, this location is not for shy people. Customers are allowed to walk through the space to get to the bar, and on rare occasions, an employee needs to come and grab something. There are two large windows that are both covered in drapes or curtains. 

 

We have never had any problems, and we aim to keep it that way. Chalice's team honors and respects the model's time and presence while offering a space for artists to practice their techniques and crafts. We honor this by asking artists to read and sign the Model Bill of Rights.   

What is provided for the model?

The host brings a backless, long padded stool, a portable wooden stage, thick yoga mats for additional padding, and an extra curtain for the large window in the brewery room. 

What should the model bring for themselves?

We recommend that models bring their own robes that they can easily slip in and out of and place on the provided stool. If you get chilly easily, please let Chalice know, and she can bring a space heater. 

What is supplied for the aritsts? 

Free Range offers tables and benches for artists to sit on. Occasionally, thick yoga mats are provided for extra comfort for the benches or for people to sit on the ground. The chairs fill up fast, so we recommend to come early. 

What can the artists bring?

Whatever you can carry and whatever your heart desires, please refain from aerosols to be friendly to the enclosed environment. If you have a tabletop or traveling easel, we highly encourage you to bring that as well. For a list of recommended supplies from Chalice, click here. 

Can the artsits bring food or drink?

It is preferred that artists order drinks from Free Range since they provide the space for us to use for free. Free Range offers a variety of beer, wine, kombucha, liquor, and other non-alcoholic beverages. We highly recommend their rotating shrub soda or the nitro cold brew. 

 

We are permitted to bring food, but the owners now have a food truck provided at the end of every session. The is also a Rhino Market right next door to the Free Range NoDa location. 

Whats the schedule like?

​We host a series of short psotures. That includeds 1 min gestures, 1 ten min poster, and 3 different 20 min posutres. 


11:00 - 10x 1 min Gesture
11:15 - 5 min break
11:20 - 1x 10 min Posture
11:30 - 10 min Break
11:40 - 20 min Posture
12:00 - 10 min break
12:10 - 20 min Posture
12:30 - 10 min Break
12:40 - 20 min Posture

What about 'that time of the month' for models? 

We are human. If the model chooses to perform during Aunt Flow's visit, they are welcome to be as covered and protected as needed. 

​

We have worked with models who plan around their cycle, cancel the day off because they don't feel like it, wear undies during postures, or rock the string. We invite and encourage the models to be themselves.

Do you host on holidays?

We avoid hosting during major holidays. That includes Christmas, New years, and Independance Day.

Do you wear masks?

We mask up as a group when the CDC mandates it. We won't mask the model since that is 50% of the face. Artists are more than welcome to come with a mask if they need to, and we do ask that if you feel under the weather, please stay home. 

Still have quiestions, reach out!
