One Excuse from Me and Ten Reasons to Join Us

I know it's been a long time since I've posted here. Between the 8th Urban Sketchers International Symposium coming to Chicago in July and  Urban Sketchers 10th  Anniversary Celebration  "10 Years 10 Classes" Program starting in Chicago on April 15, as an administrator for the Chicago Chapter, I've been a little busy! I do hope you'll join us in April and again in July if you can. It's going to be a great time!




We are inviting all sketchers celebrate Urban Sketchers' 10th Anniversary by attending 10 on-location Chicago classes with our knowledgeable Urban Sketching instructors and, in the spirit of Urban Sketchers, sketch our world, one drawing at a time.
