ABOUT SKETCH OUT/LOUD

The American Society of Landscape Architects is celebrating World Landscape Architecture Month (WLAM) in April with a series of events that celebrate the places and people that make our profession vital, exciting and significant. As part of that celebration Rutgers University Department of Landscape Architecture, Urban Sketchers, and the NY and NJ Chapters of the ASLA will launch “SKETCH OUT/LOUD” (SKO/L), a social media collaboration that shares on location sketches of landscapes from around the world.

It’s very easy to participate. Add the hashtag #skol2015 to your FB, Twitter or Instagram uploads when you sketch a landscape (photos and videos are also ok). If you want to know more, see the Sketch Out/Loud Flyer, visit the Sketch Out/Loud Blog or send an email to Richard Alomar, ASLA (richard.alomar@rutgers.edu)
