Group in the Loop (GITL) Studio – Code of Behavior for Artists

 

To ensure a respectful, creative, and welcoming environment, all artists attending sessions at the GITL studio are expected to follow the guidelines below:

 

 

1. Respect for Models

 

• Treat models with professionalism and courtesy at all times.

• No photography, video, or audio recording of models is permitted without prior explicit consent.

• Maintain a quiet and focused atmosphere during posing times.

• Always respect the model’s personal space; do not touch the model or their belongings.

 

 

2. Respect for Fellow Artists

 

• The studio is a place of camaraderie, not competition.

• Be supportive and encouraging of other artists, regardless of their skill level or experience.

• Avoid disruptive conversations during working time; keep socializing to breaks and the designated social hours.

 

 

3. Studio Etiquette

 

• Arrive on time to avoid disrupting the session.

• Bring your own materials and clean up your workspace before leaving.

• Handle studio furniture, easels, and lights with care.

• Respect the time limits for poses and breaks; follow the session leader’s direction.

 

 

4. Conduct During Sessions

 

• All sessions are for adults only unless otherwise noted.

• Nude models (male and female) are part of the artistic practice — all artists must maintain professionalism.

• Food and drinks are welcome in designated areas but should not interfere with the work environment.

 

 

5. Health & Safety

 

• Follow all safety guidelines regarding lighting, electrical equipment, and studio space.

• Report any incidents or hazards to the studio organizers immediately.

• By participating, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk and agree to follow the studio’s disclaimer and liability waiver.

 

 

6. Community Spirit

 

• The GITL thrives on collaboration and shared growth.

• Contribute positively to the atmosphere: share ideas, exchange techniques, and help maintain a welcoming space for all.

• Remember that the studio is built on mutual respect, creativity, and friendship.

 

By attending GITL sessions, you agree to uphold this code of behavior and contribute to maintaining a safe, respectful, and inspiring community space.
