ABOUT URBAN SKETCHERS:

Urban Sketchers is a global community of sketchers dedicated to the practice of on-location drawing.
The love for the places where the Urban Sketchers live and travel, is shared with the rest of the planet.

In 2007, a global community of urban sketchers began to form when Seattle-based journalist and illustrator Gabriel Campanario created an online forum “for all sketchers out there who love to draw the cities where they live and visit, from the window of their homes, from a cafe, at a park, standing by a street corner… always on location, not from photos or memory.” A year later, Campanario invited a group of sketchers to share their drawings and storytelling in a blog, Urban Sketchers, where readers could “See the World, One Drawing at a Time.” The blog helped the community gain visibility and inspired drawing enthusiasts from all over to sketch in the spirit of the manifesto of Urban Sketchers.

Currently Urban Sketchers is a nonprofit organization incorporated in the state of Washington, USA, to support and represent a grassroots community of sketchers. The mission of Urban Sketchers, is to raise the artistic, storytelling, and educational value of on-location drawing, promoting its practice and connecting people worldwide who draw on location where they live and travel.

The word “urban sketch” derived from “Urban Sketchers”, is a drawing created on location, indoors or out, capturing what the sketcher sees from direct observation. Urban sketchers use any kind of media to tell the story of their surroundings, the places they live, and where they travel.

Urban Sketchers’ Vision & Values are as follows;
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.
