We have successfully wrapped up the first ever 10 classes series in Portland to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Urban Sketching movement with a fun class on Drawing Musicians. We were able to raise $1,816 that went into the USK general fund and from there will be used to provide Symposium scholarships, community-building programs, sponsorship of sketch walks, and the upcoming Urban Sketchers 10th Anniversary museum exhibit. Many thanks to Mário Linhares of Portugal who was at the heart of this global effort, all of the amazing local instructors, Portland Urban Sketchers community who helped spread the word and plan the classes, many local businesses and community members who welcomed us in their spaces through the program, and all of the participants who made these classes so memorable and successful. |
