SATURDAY: Sketch the Ukrainian Museum

 

The finest collection Ukrainian Art outside of Kiev

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 Ukrainian National Women's League of America  built this museum, the largest museum of its kind outside of Ukraine, dedicated to the enjoyment, understanding, and preservation of the artistic and cultural heritage of Ukraine.

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.

DETAILS:


What  We’ll be sketching at The Ukrainian Museum

-    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.
