Weekday and Westchester Sketchers
At New York Public Library
For New Yorker Exhibit
Join us this week as two sketch groups come together to celebrate two iconic New York institutions: the New York Public Library and New Yorker magazine.
Whether you are a subscriber or not....you know it! You know the covers, the cartoons and the ubiquitous signature shopping bags carried by so many New Yorkers. Drawing (unintended pun!) from its extensive archive of New Yorker covers and augmented by the magazine's resources, this exhibit is a deep dive into the development of this unique publication and the impact it has had on New York and the nation for 100 years.

Not feeling literary, then head into the Treasures Exhibit to see and sketch the collection of artifacts and documents dating back to the beginning of the city and civilization. Take a look at inventions and toys, maps and memorabilia that will spark you own imagination. (How about the original teddy bears and Winnie the Poohs)
Or try to capture the grander of the building itself. with its beautiful arched corridors, grand reading rooms and elegant staircases. No matter what you select, you're sure to have a wonderful time.
