Urban Sketchers June SketchCrawl - Saturday, June 28
June 14,2014
Join us for the next Urban Sketchers SketchCrawl at the Texas and Pacific Lofts, 221 West Lancaster St., from 2:30 - 5pm on June 28, 2014.
"This month’s SketchCrawl brings us back to Downtown Fort Worth, where we’ve chosen a venue with both outdoor and indoor (air-conditioned) options! The Texas and Pacific Passenger Terminal Building—now the T & P Lofts—is a beautiful 1930 art deco/”zig-zag moderne” building that now houses lofts for urban living. SketchCrawl regulars Tim and Donna Young live in the building, and will host us there. Sketching opportunities include the magnificent facade of the T & P, and the interiors of its Grand Ballroom, passenger waiting areas, the train platform and passenger trains, and unique architectural details galore. The beautiful Greek Revival Main Post Office is immediately next door as well. Meet in front of the main building entrance at 2:30PM.
A SketchCrawl isn’t a class, workshop or competition. It's an opportunity for creative people to meet each other, draw together, and share their sketches with each other and online.
What are the rules?
1. There are no rules.
2. Anyone can participate, be it to draw for 20 minutes or the full scheduled time.
3. Any level of ability is welcome, from veteran artists to first time sketchers.
4. Bring your own sketching gear.
5. Kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Anyone who wishes to participate is welcome! We will chat briefly, then disperse to sketch singly, in pairs or groups as you wish. We’ll reconvene in The Tavern adjacent to the Grand Ballroom at 4:30pm to share sketchbooks and for a group photo, then adjourn for optional social time at The Tavern. Downtown on-street parking is free on weekends. There’s a free TRE parking lot at the corner of Vickery @ S. Main on the south side of I-30 that has walkways under I-30 to the building.
