Sketchcrawl: free-play art day for all!

FREE and Awesome

Sunday, October 12, 12-2 pm

Town Center at Lake Forest Park

17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park

Join the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council for an art-filled day of fun! The Arts Council has invited artists from all over the region to come to the Town Center and sketch what they see: 

• shoppers in The Gallery at Town Center and the Farmer’s Market,
• people browsing in the bookstore,
• friends having a meal in The Commons, and 
• budding artists creating new works. 

These sketchers will work independently but love to be watched in action so keep a look-out for T-shirt festooned Sketch-Artists, come to the town Center and watch the masters at work!

For fun loving and adventurous souls:

Check out the Experimentation Station for all where you can try a new art media including: sumi painting, wire sculpture, pastels, india ink, mod-podge, pens, pencils, charcoal, mosaic, collage, watercolor and more to try out and make your own masterpieces! Artists will be on-hand to help with casual instructions at this free-play area. All ages welcome.

So what exactly is a Sketchcrawl?

The basic idea is to get artists out of the studio and into the public sphere where they can create while engaging the public. By sketching out in public artists are able to talk about their craft, answer questions, and give instructions to budding artists. The community gets the chance to watch art-in-action, engage with the making process, and discover talented artists that they never knew before.

For those interested in joining Sketchcrawl as an official sketcher: 

Register online, then check in at noon at Third Place Commons. The first 20 sketchers will receive a free event t-shirt. 

For art patrons: 

Take the time to browse through the work of over 90 local artists in the Gallery at Town Center, proceeds from sales at the gallery go to support the arts and arts education in the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Communities. 

This event is sponsored by the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council and all artists are welcome. More information on the website.

The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to nurture all of the arts in the community through programs and events, arts education, advocacy, and support for artists and arts organizations.
