Fellow sketchcrawler Bob, has set up a MeetUp group http://www.meetup.com/RochesterSketchers/
They have had half a dozen meetups already and get good turn out. (i've been traveling and uable to make them but am going to try this weekend)
Check out the group an come out to draw.
Let's see how big we can get this drawing community.
I've just returned from the uprban sketching symposium in Santo Domingo (DR) and i have to tell you, drawing with people is awesome. The creative enrgy is contagious and the ability to be a complete drawing geek with other who "get it" .... yeah there's nothing like it!
We'll try and get a sketch crawl going again soon. As soon as "Sketchcrawl.com" post the date for the next (and 37th) crawl we'll work on details for our area. The last one coincided with the last day of the symposium. It was carzy to have over 100 people in the park drawing at one time.
that's it for now.. Happy Sketching!!

Emerging Rochester Architects sketchcrawl
Some god stuff going on this weekend....
Sunday, June 10: 9:30am to 4pm.
ERA @ RYP + Landmark Society: Annual House & Garden Tour
RSVPs to nicole@insitearch.com ASAP. Final call due by Tuesday, June 5.
The Rochester Young Professionals will be volunteering at the Stone-Tolan House throughout this year's Garden Tour.
ERA will be taking the Sunday morning shift, from 9:30am to 1:30pm. We'll welcome guests to the house and share our passion for Rochester architecture. (RYP will share a few pertinent facts about the house with each volunteer).
We'll then break for lunch and take our second Sketch Crawl around the grounds of properties included in the tour!
Volunteers will receive complimentary admission to the tour - we are looking for 6 to 8 individuals. We'd love to have unlimited additional folks join in the Sketch Crawl by purchase of a regular House & Garden Tour pass.

Better late than never, resolve to draw with us THIS Saturday if you can...
OK friends, your Rochester Sketchcrawl hosts (Rachael & Genine) have been planning on being better with calling these get-togethers but then...well... life gets in the way, as you can see from the photo. My assistant wants to eat my sketchbook again.
Only you can help keep us on course by grabbing your sketchbook and a proper instrument and joining us Saturday January 7th at the Lamberton Conservatory. Our plan is to draw from 10am to 2pm and to enjoy both the light, color and plants while we set a rough plan of meeting times for this fine year.
We're hoping, too, that you'll forgive us (OK just me, Rachael) for having that idea about a sketchbook show but then letting such a lovely idea flounder in the purgatory of the almost. Show proposal has not been proposed. Just one more thing we could talk about on Saturday!
See you Saturday we hope!
best,
Rachael (and Ben) & Genine

Yes we will draw October 2! Public Market Garage Sale at 10 am
Hello sketchy-lurkers,
We will draw this Sunday October 2 at 10 am the Rochester Public Market where they'll have a garage sale (we think this will be a great opportunity to draw random stuff). Java's at the Market might be open and maybe even the Empanada stand but we will happily meet you at the the Market office, right near the bathrooms, and the bleachers, and all of that draw-able stuff...

Oh! and we are brewing an opportunity to show our sketchbooks in an exhibit...
Show up and we'll plot how we can show off!
See you Sunday!

SketchCrawl-Thursday August 4th
Hello again,
It is time for another SketchCrawl here in Rochester!
Again we will be working with the South Wedge Farmers Market* where we will be sketching, painting and creating down in the "wedge" this coming Thursday August 4th from 4-7 pm.
We will have dedicated SketchCrawl space for our use to capture all that goes on around us. You hang there or check out other parts of the market. As usual, there is no charge to participate.
As an aside, I just returned from Portugal where I attended the three day Urban Sketching Symposium (http://symposium.urbansketchers.org/) which culminated with the 32nd World Wide SketchCrawl. There were approximately 300 people sketching and painting in the Praco do Commercio. The energy that surrounds a group of people (large or small) who share the same passion for creating is infectious and inspiring. So come out and take a break from the week you will be glad you did.
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
SEE YOU ON THURSDAY!!

*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.
