"Art models come in all shapes, sizes, and ages. Anyone can be an exquisite work of art when seen through the eyes of a great artist!" As one who has served as a nude art model nude for over 50 years, I heartily concur. However, I would like to point out that art models also come in more than one gender.

Yes. “Anyone” includes everyone.

I appreciate and applaud your response, but a bit more age and gender diversity among the models depicted in the images would be worth a thousand words.

I understand and wholeheartedly agree. And as much as we welcome, celebrate, and encourage diversity in the community, we don't impose it. Only about 1 in every 20 model applications (to join Model Society) is from a male model. The community is always evolving, so for what it's worth, that's far more than it used to be. As they say, be the change you want to see :). Anyone who wants to shape the community and contribute is welcome to participate. No two people are the same. In that sense, at least, the diversity is endless.

Thanks, David. As a model, how would I go about contributing images? I do have some (both older and current) by photographers who’ve granted permission for me to use them online.
