I'm a minor, or parent/guardian of a minor, can I still come?

Yes! Minors are welcome and encouraged to bring a +1 parent/guardian at no extra cost. Minors are at a higher risk of developing unhealthy expectations and being victimized; now is the BEST time to establish boundaries and practice what consent looks like. Minors are encouraged to join MAAC in our fight to shift industry standards. Parents/Guardians* - questions? Reach out to us directly at: info@modelartistadvocacy.org.
