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 show the world, one drawing at a time.\r\n \r\nUrban Sketchers Chicago is a regional Chapter of Urban Sketchers and was established in 2012. We started with 4 sketchers and today are a wonderful community of 1102 sketchers drawing on location in Chicago and on our travels.\r\n \r\nWhat is “urban sketching”? Unlike making art in a studio, urban sketching is about capturing life, wherever that life is - on the sidewalk, in our neighborhoods, in cafes, or in other public places. We follow Urban Sketchers Manifesto and sketch from direct observation, telling stories of our surroundings and sharing them online. We support each other and draw together.\r\n \r\nUSk Chicago sketchers meet regularly twice each month to sketch as a group. We share our sketches on our Facebook group and Instagram. We have organized 4 annual Chicago Sketch Seminars and a 10x10 Sketching course. In 2017, USk Chicago hosted the 8th International Urban Sketchers Symposium." } ] } ] ```
