SKETCH OUTING at the new ART CLIMB


SOCIAL DISTANCING OR REMOTE

SAT. JUNE 20,  9:00  - Noon
We’re avoiding the parking crunch by starting at 9:00 but please join in whenever you can

Join us for our June outing! The last 2 months we've stayed inside and sketched virtually for our outings, but as the state is slowly opening back up, we've decided to slowly start getting back outside to sketch as well. We're headed to the brand new Art Climb near the Cincinnati Art Museum. We'll meet in the Cincinnati Art Museum parking lot, near the main steps to the entrance of the museum.




*We're giving you the option however - if you feel comfortable to join us outdoors, please do! If you feel more comfortable to stay home and sketch virtually, no worries! We are planning to get some pictures taken of the locations so you can still be a part of the sketch outing.  Photos will be added to this post when they become available.
We are still planning on doing a virtual throw down regardless of sketching on location as to stay safely distanced from each other. Email the admins  cincyurbansketchers@gmail.com for the Zoom link if you're interested in logging in. The zoom will start at 1:00.  More details to come on what time that will take place.
**We must still practice safe social distancing protocols at all times.**
Wear a mask if you have one. Hand sanitizer will be available if you are in need.      Link to Facebook Event page
