Weekday Sketchers at Met Thursday December 18, 2025

 Weekday Sketchers at Met Museum

'Tis the Season.  Let's sketch it!

Tribeca Citizen | Field Trip: The Metropolitan Christmas tree



From Metropolitan Museum web site: 


The Met continues a longstanding holiday tradition with the presentation of its Christmas tree. The magnificently lit, twenty-foot blue spruce looms over a vivid eighteenth-century Neapolitan Nativity scene, surrounded by an abundant array of lifelike figures with silk-robed angels hovering above. The scene describes in detail the Mediterranean harbor town's multicultural population.

The installation is set in front of the eighteenth-century Spanish choir screen from the Cathedral of Valladolid in the Museum's Medieval Sculpture Hall.


So get out your sketchbook and join us on THURSDAY December 12, 2025


This will be the last Weekday Sketch meet up for the year. Wishing you all a most joyous holiday season and a happy and "Sketching" New Year!
