SATURDAY: Sketch the Museum of the American Indian


The National Museum of the American Indian
Located in the historic 
Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House. 


SATURDAY,  February 9, 2019

Let's sketch the museum’s permanent and temporary exhibitions—as well as a range of public programs, including music and dance performances, films, and symposia—explore the diversity of the Native people of the Americas.

In addition, the building itself is a fantastic Beaux Arts structure with loads of interesting lines and perspective challenges.
