Boston Figurative Art Center

Wouldn't it be cool if there was something like this in Limerick?
I have some friends in Boston who take part in it, and I've seen amazing results from them.

http://www.bostonfigurecenter.org/

From the "About Us" page:

Our goal is to provide a physical and virtual meeting place for figurative artists in Boston. We like diversity of approach, aesthetic, and philosophy, but we all share the desire to make better pictures by working at our craft and talking with one another. We want to provide artists who paint and draw the figure an artistic location that is neither overly academic nor dominated by current trends. Though we meet regularly to draw and paint from the model, this is not just a drop-in group. The BFAC believes that if talented artists come together as a movement, we can change the art culture. Don't come expecting only to get  -  come to give and be a part of something.

The Boston Figurative Art Center (BFAC) formed from a group of artists who were enrolled or were considering enrolling in graduate school, but who believed they could achieve a better, more specifically tailored community without the high price.
The Center is part of a trend toward re-establishing guild and atelier-like structures in which professional artists can share knowledge, support and compete with one another. Students can learn about the tools and crafts that are specific to the form of art that they intend to pursue in their professional lives. There is no promise of an empty degree, or a non-existent job, or indeed even of success; only the promise of community and the valuing of real and germane artistic knowledge. To draw and paint well one mostly has to practice and learn by observing how others succeed, and we want to provide an environment that matches that reality.
