Over the years we’ve sketched at the Ukrainian Museum twice, but that was before their troubles. Back then I couldn’t describe their flag or even properly say the name of their largest city. So much has happened since then. I'm sure many of us have strong feelings about this country and its people.
The museum is also located in a particularly sketchable area of NYC, with lots to draw and see in the streets. Although it's still early April the weather may be suitable for outdoor sketching.

Show and Tell: 3:00 PM - We’ll confirm this on Saturday but the likely spot is the Cooper Triangle Park a block west of the museum. In the map below the letter “r” in the word “Public Theater” touches the park.
NOTES:
- Bring a stool if you have one. It gives you more options
- The museum asks visitors to check their backpacks, so you’ll need to carry your art supplies.
