Come by to see all sketchbooks in person. Take them off the wall, pick them up, turn the pages, spend some time in an artists’ brain.

August 27 - September 28

For artists the sketchbook is used to improve skills, record progress, explore ideas, keep visual memories, and experiment where no one else can judge. Sketchbooks are an invaluable tool to use wherever you are in your art making journey.

Having a sketchbook habit will improve your drawing skills and help you develop your own style over time. In it you can draw what’s in front of you, take it with you, record moments of your lived experience. You can apply different media to see what relationships form. You can cover up what you don’t like and repeat what you love.

These artists are letting the visitor look at their thoughts on paper. We get to see the recorded lines of the hand of the artist as it moved around the paper observing the pressure and tension of pencil, pen, or paint.

Thank you and congratulations to all who participated.

Your vulnerability is a gift to the viewer.
