Weekday Sketchers on Broadway Wednesday

No, we are not performing!

Just sketching the new installation on Broadway between 39th and 41St Streets 

We had this on our schedule a few weeks ago and got rained out.  Let's try again this week. Hopefully the weather will be sunny and bright. 

Join us this week as we explore the new installation on Broadway "growing" out of the pavement in the Garment District.  These sculptures by Steve Tobin are the newest installation of the Garment District Alliance. Come and walk between, around and through these giant tree roots and try to capture their twists, turns and shadows in your sketchbooks.
