This coming Saturday, December 7th, the High School of Art and Design is running their Draw-A-Thon fundraiser, a perfect event for sketchers.
The HS is an important NYC institution that has trained New York based artistic children, including many of our members and their children. They are also our hosts for our annual Portrait Party (coming up soon - Feb 1st!)
The nine-hour drawing and painting event will provide an opportunity for art students and professional artists to work side by side from a group of live models. Poses will vary from short sessions of five minutes, twenty minutes and one hour poses. Extended poses of three and six hours will also be available. There will be a dedicated room for costume (heroic/cosplay) figure drawing and a separate room for nude/traditional figure drawing.
Admission is $25 if purchased online in advance:

It's $5 more expensive at the door.
The High School is located at 245 East 56th Street (between 2nd and 3rd Avenues)
The event starts at 10 AM and continues until 7 PM.
The HS provides chairs and they sell food at the event. In addition to Urban Sketchers the event attracts artists from all over the NY area. At every event I see at least one or two art friends who I haven’t seen in years.
It’s a good event! Hope to see you there.
