Urban Sketching Week
2024-05-01 - 2024-05-07 | Whyte Avenue, Edmonton, Canada
Coming up May 1-7, 2024 is International Urban Sketchers Week.
It’s an event happening all over the world and open to anyone interested in urban sketching.
We’ve put together a list of daily prompts to inspire you for the week and are connecting with a few other local groups and The Paint Spot to share the love of drawing in our community. The themes will focus in on the Old Strathcona area but the prompts are general enough that you should be able to join in on the fun and sketch from anywhere.
