Urban Sketchers is a global organization found in 394 cities in more than 60 countries, with over 120,000 members worldwide. Some 325 members have joined the Urban Sketchers of New Haven Facebook group, which is open to all. According to Elizabeth Stocker, one of the members of Urban Sketchers of New Haven, the group draws “on location,” capturing what they see from direct observations. “We support each other and draw together,” Stocker says. “Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings and are a record of time and place. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.” The formal Urban Sketchers group is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization is incorporated in Washington, supporting and representing a grassroots community of sketchers. Stocker notes that because Urban Sketchers is a global community there are many groups one can tap into either at home or while traveling. She mentions joining an Urban Sketchers meet-up while in London earlier this year, adding, “We share ideas, gain friendships, share our talents and interests, and record the happenings of places around the world.” New Haven Museum thanks its community partners: WSHU 91.1 FM, The Howard Gilman Foundation, Avangrid/UI Lighting Up the Arts, CT Humanities, and Alder Salvatore E. DeCola for supporting the 2023 summer season. |
