Quiet Sketch: A Gallery Drawing Series

Unplug, slow down, and engage with the collections in a new way. Join us for a self-guided sketching experience in the galleries as part of a new museum initiative to foster creativity, mindfulness, and deeper observation.

On select Sundays in August, visitors are invited to pick up a sketch pad and pencil, find an easel in the designated gallery, and spend time drawing the exhibits that inspire them. Whether you’re an experienced artist or trying sketching for the first time, this relaxed, interactive program offers a new lens through which to connect with the Museum’s collections.

Upcoming Sessions:
✏️ August 10 – Bird Hall
✏️ August 17 – Elk Pond
✏️ August 31 – Fire Engine Hall

All materials are provided, and no registration is required. Just drop in, draw, and enjoy.
