Saturday 9/12/26: Weekend Sketchers in Bryant Park, Manhattan, NY

 

Join us in the heart of Midtown for a day of Urban Sketching in Bryant Park! The park features the historic architecture of the New York Public Library, the Radiator Building, and the Empire State Building, as well as seasonal gardens, a carousel, the landmark fountain, chess players, and the iconic green bistro chairs. There is inspiration around every corner.

Other potentially fun park activities to sketch this Saturday: At 10am there will be a dance class, at 11am there will be a juggling class, and at 1pm there will be a Board Game Social. There is also an “Art Cart” workshop at 11:30, Painting Fans (free but registration recommended).

FOOD, DRINK, RESTROOMS, SEATING: Not only is there a restroom, but the Bryant Park Restroom is famous for resembling a luxury hotel powder room, complete with piped-in classical music, fresh flowers, fine art, and a full-time attendant.
