It’s as popular with locals as with tourists and visitors. It started out as a market beneath the elevated Reading Railroad tracks, and is now a part of the Philadelphia Convention Center. It is incredibly colorful with so many truly urban sketching possibilities. We were here three years ago so it’s time we revisited this historic Philadelphia landmark. If you want to know more about the market check out these links: https://readingterminalmarket.org https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Terminal_Market ================ We will continue to conduct our meetings as hybrid events so if you don't feel comfortable joining us in person you can join us virtually online by finding photos and sketching with us during our meeting time. See **”Tips for Virtual Sketching**” below. Please upload your sketches to our Facebook group page and include as much information as you can about your sketch to share the full experience with us. =========== Take care and stay safe, Urban Sketchers Philadelphia Administration ======================= **Tips for Virtual Sketching ======================= If you will be sketching virtually, here are several ways you can proceed (and please let us know if you have suggestions for other ways to do this): 1. Google Maps. google.com/maps. a. Type in the name and/or address of your destination. A search list will appear below. Click on the best match for your location. A street map will appear with a pin identifying the location of the place on the map. b. For outside views, find Pegman in the lower right corner. Drag him to the location and drop him on the street in front of your destination. Then adjust the view by navigating with the compass and the street arrows. c. For other views, outside and inside, there will be many photos in the column to the left of the map. Scroll through them and find one you would like to sketch. 2. Google Search: google.com. a. Type in the name of the place and find the appropriate links in the search list. Select the official website (if there is one). b. If there is no official website, there will probably be many other entries - Yelp, Visit Philly, etc. - with photos of your destination. c. The search screen will show you “All" entries, but you can select “Images” or “Videos” to find even more possibilities for sketching. (I prefer sketching from videos over images because they are a bit closer to real-life sketching.) 3. Facebook: Search for the name of the location to see their page. They should have lots of photos and other ideas for sketching. 4. We are not recommending you go outside, but if you are going out, mask in place, you may be able to find a spot that affords appropriate social distancing, and sketch in person. Or while you are out, take your own photos for sketching. (One problem sketching from photos is that you’re looking at someone else’s view, the way they see the world. Taking your own photo is at least closer to the way you see the world and the way you would like to sketch it from your particular view or angle. That’s a big difference.) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/philadelphia/sketch-the-reading-terminal-market-with-urban-sketchers-philadelphia/200029462882650 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts, meetups, food-drinks - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 35 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Philadelphia - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: Reading Terminal Market - **lat**: 39.953330787118 - **long**: -75.159363412648 - **full address**: Reading Terminal Market, 51 North 12th Street,Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Sketch the Reading Terminal Market with Urban Sketchers Philadelphia - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/e812261f32d8e00e26cf6507db6d2ed066e39ef0bb80db87ccbdcd7df40becc6-rimg-w720-h405-dc5d4b46-gmir?v=1767884330 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Sketch the Reading Terminal Market with Urban Sketchers Philadelphia being held? - **A:** Sketch the Reading Terminal Market with Urban Sketchers Philadelphia takes place on Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Reading Terminal Market, 51 North 12th Street,Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Sketch the Reading Terminal Market with Urban Sketchers Philadelphia? - **A:** Sketch the Reading Terminal Market with Urban Sketchers Philadelphia is organized by Michael Boshes. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
