Westcott Center Closed for Most of December

The Westcott Community Center will be closed for most of December. The floors on the 1st floor are being redone and the 2nd floor will be used as storage for everything on the 1st floor. We are working on a way to keep our regular schedule going, possibly by moving or using Zoom. We will let you all know.

The last session at the WCC in December will be on Wednesday, December 1.

Rules for Sessions at WCC

The Westcott Community Center has allowed Open Figure Drawing to loosen our COVID related rules for all our session in the center starting June 30, 2021.

You will need to show proof of your COVID-19 vaccination to attend a session. A vaccination card or NYS Excelsior Pass on your smartphone are both acceptable.

Masks are optional.

OFD’s attendance limit is 16 participants per session.

Starting November 10, 2021, we’ve decided to discontinue using the Picktime for registration for our normal Wednesday and Sunday sessions. All spots are now walk-in. We may go back to Picktime for special events where attendance is limited.

Digital Drawing Tools Available

We have an iPad Pro 12.9 with Procreate and a 16″ Wacom MobileStudio Pro with Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, and Corel Painter available for your use at any WCC session at no additional cost. Just ask the host.
