Accademia di Brera seeks live models for 25.82 euros per hour

The Accademia di Brera in Milan has announced an open call for live models for the upcoming academic year, offering a gross hourly wage of 25.82 euros plus VAT. The position involves posing during figure study classes, allowing students to practice anatomy, proportions, posture, and movement. No prior professional modeling experience is required; applicants must be of legal age, hold a secondary school diploma, and possess a VAT number. A portfolio of at least 10 recent photographs is required, along with a curriculum and an interview. Selection will consider the ability to hold poses. Applications must be submitted by September 15, 2026, via the inPA portal. This opportunity offers a viable income source for young artists and critics, countering the notion that 'culture does not feed'—a phrase attributed to former minister Giulio Tremonti, who has denied saying it.
