Our First Winter Talk

We are the New York City Urban Sketchers, a Regional Chapter of Urban Sketchers.  Our mission is to raise 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. New York City Urban Sketchers aim to show the our city and our life and times, one drawing at a time.

New York City Urban Sketchers

I think that I&#x27;m somewhat familiar with art history, but the truth is I&#x27;ve only focused on Western Art.  I believe that talent and even genius is evenly distributed.  The West had Leonardo, Michaelangelo and Raphael, but surely there were equally brilliant artists working in other parts of the world.  I just don&#x27;t know their workWe&#x27;ve sketched at the Rubin Museum many times.  They are very welcoming, but honestly I don&#x27;t understand what I&#x27;m seeing and can hardly begin to appreciate the artwork.  The Rubin Museum has paintings, statues, textiles &amp; more from Tibet, Bhutan &amp; other Asian lands, plus rotating exhibits.I was very excited to learn that Judy Garza works at the Rubin as a docent, meaning she&#x27;s undergone a thorough and rigorous training.  She explains the artwork to museum visitors.  To kickoff our Winter Talks Judy Garza will be educating and entertaining us with stories and interesting information that will give added depth to upcoming visits to the museum.  Both the weekday group and the weekend sketchers will be visiting the Rubin following our talk.We will be using Zoom for our first session on Tuesday night, December 13th at  7:30 PM.  You must register in advance.  We will use the registration list to send out dial-in instructions an hour before our start time.  There is no cost to attend.
