ABOUT OUR MODELS
How do you go about selecting your models?
We have two basic criteria when choosing our models. One, you must be over 21 years of age. And two, you must be able to strike and hold interesting poses for artists to draw from.
We have no preference when it comes male/female gender, ethnicity, age, or body type. All are welcome to apply.
We generally select models through online resources like ModelMayhem.com, Instagram, or from a model’s professional website.
If you are interested in modeling for the Croquis Cafe please go to Become A Model and fill out our form.
