The Willamette Art Models Guild (WAMG) was established in 1996 as an association of independent fine-art models, formed for the mutual aid and protection of its members.

Our goals include

  • promoting the recognition of fine-art modeling as a profession.

  • securing good working environments and fair compensation for professional art models.

  • encouraging a membership that is professional in its relationship to area artists, teachers, institutions, and other employers.

  • supporting its members through open discussion of and education about the drawbacks, rewards, and other nuances related to our field.

  • providing a community that stems from the shared experience and common goals of its members.

  • supporting and promoting the arts in general.

WAMG maintains a list of major art-model employers in the area, suggested guidelines for both models and employers, and a list of models currently available for work.
