Weekday Urban Sketchers at St. Pats

In December we visited a number of houses of worship that have mosaic murals by the Art Deco artist Hildreth Miterer.  The is one more gem in NYC that we have been saving...St. Patrick's Cathedral.  Now that some of the crowds have diminished we will be able to make our way to a very special setting.  Thanks to Maureen O. Gorta, who seems to have some pull with "higher powers" that control St. Pat's, we will have access to the Ladies Chapel, located behind the altar, it is usually off limits to the general public.   There is no fee nor limit on participants.

DATE: WEDNESDAY JANUARY 20, 2016

TIME: 10:30 AM

LOCATION:  ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL

                       5th Avenue and 50th Street.

MEET UP POINT:  We will meet at the Fireplace which is about half way back into the church along the left hand wall.  From there we will go to the Lady's Chapel

AFTERNOON SESSION:  After lunch we will sketch in Rockefeller Center: outdoors if the weather is good, if not, indoors.
