SketchCrawl 10/17/09

SketchCrawl Day arrived with the city's first fall weather -- chilly, windy and brilliantly clear. After signing in at Mobile Arts Council, 15 sketchers hit the streets to create a visual record of their impressions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a SketchCrawl?

A worldwide drawing marathon for all ages and levels of art experience. People in 90 cities around the globe now participate in SketchCrawl events, and many of them have posted their drawings in the online forum at http://www.sketchcrawl.com/.

What happens at Mobile SketchCrawl?

It's our very own hometown drawing marathon. You'll see your city in a whole new way! Mobile's first SketchCrawl was in October 2009, and took place in and around Cathedral Square. Sixteen sketchers, ranging in age from 11 to 51, drew their way up and down Dauphin Street and beyond. Mobile SketchCrawl 2, slated to happen simultaneously with similar events all over the globe, is slated for Saturday, Feb. 27, at Mobile Museum of Art.

What should I bring?

It's usually best to keep it simple when you're drawing on the move. A pencil, your favorite ink pen, a sturdy sketchbook... bring a small set of watercolors or colored pencils, if you like.

How much does it cost?

SketchCrawl is free.

What if it rains?

No problem! There are plenty of indoor drawing opportunities in the galleries, lobby and education wing at MMA. Volunteers at MAC will be able to suggest good wet-weather sketching spots.

Can I volunteer to help during SketchCrawl?

Yes, please do. If you can donate an hour or two of your time on Feb. 27, it will help make Mobile SketchCrawl 2 a success. To find out more, call Mobile Arts Council at (251) 432-9796. Thanks for asking!
