A new exhibition, Urban Sketchers: Sketch Virginia, opens April 9th at the Virginia Center for Architecture.
Urban Sketchers: Sketch Virginia
April 9-July 12, 2015
In partnership with Urban Sketchers
Sponsored by Glavé & Holmes Architecture
Most every designer creates sketches, but not every designer creates location sketches. Location sketching is a practice shared by professionals and amateurs who enjoy exploring the designed environment around them. The educational nonprofit group Urban Sketchers is dedicated to raising the artistic, storytelling and educational value of location drawing, promoting its practice, and connecting people around the world who draw on location where they live and travel. The exhibition will include sketches that tell a story about design in Virginia, the actual sketchbooks, and displays of sketching materials and tools.
