Meetup 🕐 12 noon
Sketch Throwdown 🕐 2:30 pm

*We will update closer to the date if anything changes. Please join our Facebook group or stay updated with our stories on that day.

THE RIVER MARKET is located one block south of the New Westminster Skytrain station and is an ideal indoor location to spread out from.

There are multiple sketching themes to choose from - the broad pedestrian promenade with the Fraser River, the tugboats or even the 1930s Samson V sternwheeler boat also close by. Behind the market are the railway tracks where you might see graffiti-decorated freight cars. There is also a large construction site with several tall high rise buildings going up. Finally, there are all kinds of people to sketch, all over the place.

How to Get There:
Skytrain: Exit from the east side of New Westminster station to ground level on 8th Street. Walk south on 8th Street for half a block, cross Columbia Street and go over the pedestrian overpass, above the railway tracks. Then descend to ground level and walk around to the River Market area, to your right.
If you're driving, there's paid parking nearby ($$) or free street parking which is a10 minute walk west of the meetup point, on Quayside Drive.

We look forward to great weather and sketching with you!
