Who We Are

Urban Sketchers is a global community of on-location sketching enthusiasts. Our chapter sketches where we live - Eau Claire and its surrounding areas called Chippewa Valley in west central Wisconsin (U.S.A.) - and where we travel, to show the world one drawing at a time.

Our Sketch Outings

We will post an outing information at least a week prior to the event date, and the cancellation as soon as it's decided. 
Our official outing usually takes place on the first weekend of the month but it could shift to a different week. During warmer seasons, we typically have more than one outing a month, so please check the blog often.

Urban Sketchers Manifesto

1. We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
2. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
3. Our drawings are a record of time and place.
4. We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
5. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
6. We support each other and draw together.
7. We share our drawings online.
8. We show the world, one drawing at a time.
