Weekday Sketchers Schedule for July and August

Weekday Schedule for July and August 

Elizabeth Street Garden


In an effort to help you plan to attend the Weekday Sketch Sessions, here is the schedule for July and August.  Be aware that the schedule can change due to weather or other circumstances, so please check the weekly announcements.


It's summer (finally) so let's get in as much outdoor sketching as possible.  This schedule will keep us busy visiting gardens, parks and beaches around the city, especially in the outer boroughs.   A trip to the Rockaway's, Coney Island and Manhattan Beach should give us plenty of beach time.  Upper Manhattan gardens will provide shade and greenery.  And, there are a few new events planned for late afternoons to capture the sunsets. 

And one more announcement:   The Elizabeth Street Garden has been saved from demolition.  To celebrate, I've put it on our calendar for July 16th!
