Saturday 7/18/26: Weekend Sketchers at 1 Bryant Park Atrium

1 Bryant Park features a large, open public atrium on the ground floor that serves as a welcoming indoor extension of Bryant Park, offering a bright, accessible space for visitors and building occupants. 

Please note that this is a location change due to the forecasted weather. We were originally supposed to sketch Governor’s Island, but with a 90% chance of rain this location will give us more options. If the rain holds off we can sketch Bryant Park, the NYPL, Times Square, etc. If/when it rains this will be our home base. We will try to reschedule Governor’s Island for another weekend.
