UPDATE
The weather report for tomorrow's event is calling for cloudy conditions until later in the afternoon when it is expected to rain. We will continue with our Wednesday sketch event as planned at the Gansevoort Peninsula. If the weather does change we can go indoors to Pier 57 or the Whitney.
Weekday Sketchers at Gansevoort Peninsula
Built on land and not a pier, the development of Gansevoort Peninsula, has given us a sandy beach right on the Hudson River. Just south of Little Island, is Gansevoort Peninsula is the newest addition to Hudson River Park. It offers us a beach, lawn, a salt marsh, picnic tables and fabulous views of across the Hudson River and the NYC skyline. Bring your sketchbook, a blanket and sunscreen for a unique beach adventure.
Fun Fact: The end of the Peninsula is the original 13th Avenue. (Did you know that there was a 13th Avenue? It had to be taken away when the ships got larger and blocked the shipping lanes in the river when docked!)
