Saturday 10/24/26: Weekend Sketchers at Coney Island

 

Join us Saturday to sketch the iconic Coney Island. The boardwalk, the beach, the ocean, a carousel, colorful vintage storefronts and signage, classic rides, and people, people, people! NYC fixtures such as The Wonder Wheel, the Parachute Jump, The Cyclone and Nathan’s Famous should offer plenty of inspiration. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful fall day, so we can sketch this NYC treasure while avoiding the heat and crowds of the summer.
