We'll be sketching inside Essex Market
The 37,000-square-foot space houses
loads of sketch-able shops,
tons of food vendors, groceries, and more.
We know that our city changes all the time. It’s exciting when new spaces are created and a bit sad when old places close. Shawne has shared that the Essex Street Market, a venerable sketching location, will be closing.
Essex Market has been a fixture on the Lower East Side since 1818. The city-owned food hall and market went from a dingy, low-ceilinged building to a state-of-the-art, award-winning-architect-designed space that has floor-to-ceiling windows, an impossibly high sloped ceiling, and all-new kitchens and stalls. It’s three times the size and even has a shortened new name: Essex Market.
DETAILS
What: We'll be sketching at the Essex Market. We'll be indoors with the option to explore outside if it feels warm enough.
Where: The Essex Market is located at 88 Essex St, it's easy to get there. Let's linger for a while by the main door when we first arrive. We'll be using What'sApp to stay in touch.
When: We're starting at 10 AM on SATURDAY, February 17th. Sleeping late? Come anyway - we'll be there.
How: Take the F or M train to Delancey St. / Essex St. The market is across the street. (see map below)
Lunch: We'll break for lunch together at 12:30 PM
Afternoon: More sketching
Show and Tell: At 3 PM we'll get together, probably in the eating area to share our drawings, tell stories and talk about art supplies
