Art transcends political censorship and theocratic cultural attempts to suppress individuals' freedom of thought and expression.
The Education Foundation of the American Association for Nude Recreation is excited to sponsor a Nude Figure Drawing Competition. This partnership with the University at Buffalo Department of Art furthers the Foundation's mission to promote a fair and accepting appreciation of the human person and body. It emphasizes that the naturalness of nudity enhances physical health and mental well-being while encouraging positive body images through the non-sexual practice of social naturism. Promoting the simultaneous creation of figure drawings by students and patrons of Open Figure Drawing aligns with our shared missions.
