Chicago Sketch Seminar 2020 will be held in Chicago on July 17 - 19, 2019. The seminar is an annual educational event organized by Urban Sketchers Chicago. The goal of Seminar 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, on a much smaller and more affordable scale, to our chapter and our friends from other locations. The seminar offers exciting workshops and opportunities for participants to network and socialize.
This year Seminar will offer 16 workshops taught by USk Chicago instructors as well as instructors from the U.S., Canada and Portugal. 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 everyone ample opportunity to practice sketching the motion of this city.
We hope you’ll join us! This is our 6th Seminar. Previous Chicago Sketch Seminars were held in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019.
