New Dates!!
Hey out there,
We are excited to announce two new SketchCrawl dates, with a bit of a twist.
Working with the South Wedge Farmers Market* we will be sketching, painting, creating and more than likely getting our groceries on both Thursday June 16th and Thursday August 4th from 4-7 pm.
Once there we can roam the market or hang in the dedicated SketchCrawl space to capture all that goes on around us.
As usual, there is no charge to participate. So come out and take a break from the week!!
If you have questions, drop a comment here or shoot us an email: Genine at g9@rochester.rr.com or Rachael at rachaelbaldanza@yahoo.com
*The South Wedge Farmers Market brings fresh, local sustainably-grown foods to the South Wedge and nearby neighborhoods every Thursday, 4-7 pm, from June 2 through October 20. This lively, popular community gathering spot also offers live music, community groups, and activities for kids in the shade of the big trees behind Boulder Coffee at the corner of Alexander and S. Clinton.

Rochester Sketchcrawl will be drawing on Saturday April 16th *
We’ll meet Saturday April 16 at 10 am at the Highland Bowl in Highland Park. Rain or Shine.
See more at http://rochestersketchcrawl.blogspot.com/
Sketchcrawl participation is free and easy, just bring your own drawing materials and come ready to draw and have fun. We will start in the park and then possibly move on—following the weather and the desires of the gathered gang.
For questions, contact Genine at g9@rochester.rr.com or 585-406-7038
Or Rachael at rachaelbaldanza@yahoo.com or 585-520-7126
*Sketchcrawling is essentially gathering in public to draw. We meet/start in one location with the option to “crawl” to others. This is part of Worldwide Sketchcrawl #31 and we hope to gather some donations or those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan (see more about that at www.sketchcrawl.com and http://give2asia.org/artistshelp).
Kids are always welcome, no instruction is provided, nobody tells you what to draw or how to draw it, it never costs a dime, and there are not a lot of rules (play nice is about the only one!)… Join us and draw!

There is plenty of seating so bring a friend.
We will also have an option for a second stop to the crawl. I will post that info later.(if anyone out there has a request please drop a comment :) )

SAVE the DATES
Rachael and I have picked the dates for the next TWO sketchcrawls so save the dates...
Sunday February 20th and Saturday March 26th.
Locations are still TBD so, if you have any suggestions please send them our way.
The plan is to have many more Sketchcrawls than last year.
We also had an idea of an informal weekly sketching night. We can pick a night / location and leave it open. If you (or we) want to meet up and sketch come on out. If not no worries. Hopfully we can get a good group going. The plan (or at least mine )is get out, sketch more and build a larger sketching community. Think of all the inspiration you can get by seeing others work.
Ok, enough of my babbling...
To start it off let's say next Wednesday Januray 26th 6:30 @ Java's on Gibbs. (http://www.javascafe.com/)
Hope to see you there!
