The Department of Art and Design in the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Tampa invites applications for part‑time live art models.

Art models should be able to hold a pose for a short time for gesture and hold a pose for longer, sustained exercises (lasting 16-18 minutes). They are expected to communicate directly with the course instructor regarding the length and style of the pose or costuming when posing draped. Most modeling is undraped, therefore models should come prepared to class with a robe and appropriate footwear to cover up between undraped poses.

Models must maintain a professional appearance, demeanor, and hygiene while posing and collaborating with the course instructor on meeting the needs of each class. Art models with long hair should keep their hair off the neckline when posing. Art models should be prepared to contribute to a professional work environment that fosters knowledge of, respect for, and the development of skills relevant to the field of art and design.
