Showing the World One Sketch at a Time: Urban Sketchers DFW

This exhibition will feature 30– 35 framed drawings by 20+ individual members of the DFW group of Urban Sketchers. 

 ABOUT URBAN SKETCHERS

In 2007, a global community of urban sketchers began to form when Seattle-based journalist and illustrator Gabriel Campanario created an online forum “for all sketchers out there who love to draw the cities where they live and visit, from the window of their homes, from a cafe, at a park, standing by a street corner… always on location, not from photos or memory.”

A year later, Campanario invited a group of sketchers to share their drawings and storytelling in a blog, Urban Sketchers, where readers could “See the World, One Drawing at a Time.” The blog helped the community gain visibility and inspired drawing enthusiasts from all over to sketch in the spirit of their manifesto.
