About this event
What is Chicago Sketch Seminar?
Chicago Sketch Seminar is an annual educational event organized by Urban Sketchers Chicago. USk Chicago is a regional chapter of Urban Sketchers (USk), a nonprofit dedicated to fostering the practice of on-location observational sketching. The Seminar's goal is to celebrate and practice the art of on-location sketching in our beautiful and artful city - Chicago. We hope to bring a Symposium-like experience to our chapter and our friends from other locations on a much smaller scale. The Seminar offers exciting workshops and opportunities for participants to network and socialize. The Seminar is designed to help absolute beginners and experienced artists alike develop the sketchbook habit, try new things, and practice sketching in public. Workshops will be taught on the sidewalks and in the parks of Chicago, giving ample opportunity for you to practice sketching the motion of this city. We hope you'll join us!
This is our 8th Seminar! Previous Chicago Sketch Seminars were held in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023.
