Over the years the Elizabeth Street Garden has been a favorite sketch site for our group. Always threatened by impending development, we have gathered to say good-bye to this quiet corner of New York many times. But this year is different. Join us to celebrate the reprieve from demolition granted through hard work by many, many individuals and organizations. Come and capture this unique spot in your sketchbook.

Join the New Jersey Sketchers at Ramsey's award winning Farmers' Market at the Ramsey train station on Main Street on Sunday, September 27 at 10:30.
It promises to be an action packed day, as Ramsey was voted among the top 5 Markets in the nation, has 40 plus vendors, and its convenient location off Main Street assures plenty of foot traffic all day long. This particular Sunday they will be having an apple festival, and Toufayan Bakeries, famous for pita bread, will be celebrating its 100th anniversary.
Bring a stool, hat, and sunscreen. There are plenty of food stalls, but if you aren't adventurous, bring a snack for midday. We will meet at 10:30 at the train station/Women's Club, where the bathroom is, and where you can taste a piece of apple cake. Then we will spread out from there, then at 12:30 back to the Women's Club area at for our throwdown.

Can you imagine a world class art collection and a beautiful sculpture garden with Hudson River views in a long term care facility? Hard to conger up? Agreed, expect that it does exist.... and we are going there on Wednesday.
The Derfner Judaica Museum is located on the main campus of the Hebrew Home at Riverdale and is just that place: a world class museum with a sculpture garden on the Hudson River. The collection of Judaica is excellent and extremely well curated. The art collection is exhibited through the building and the sculpture garden is on a green lawn that stretches down to the river....perfect for sketching!
