Let's Sketch Chicago
Garfield Park Conservatory
SUNDAY, December 19, 2021
11:45 AM – 1:30 PM
Hosted by Rachel Pasch Grossman and Urban Sketchers Chicago
For our second hybrid sketch meet, we’ll be sketching at the Garfield Park Conservatory.
You can join us on Sunday, December 19, at the Conservatory, or you can sketch there on your own, any time before that. Whichever you choose, we hope you’ll join our virtual throwdown on December 19, from 12 noon on.
The Garfield Park Conservatory is one of the largest and most stunning conservatories in the world, warm and revitalizing on a cold winter day.
- December 19th, we’ll meet at the front entrance at 11:45 a.m.
- We must enter as a group.
- Due to covid, the Conservatory is limiting how long groups can stay, so we’ll be having our in-person throwdown there at 1:30.
Reservations provide a one-time entry for a 90 minute visit to the gardens. There is no re-entry if you exit the gardens.
Restrooms will be open and are located at the front entrance, in the lobby. We encourage you to plan your visit accordingly and use the restroom before or after your visit through the gardens. Water fountains will not be available during your visit.
The Conservatory is located at 300 N. Central Park Avenue, just north of Lake Street. There is a large free parking lot on the south side of the Conservatory, and there is a Green Line stop right there, the Conservatory-Central Park Drive stop.
Note: If you want to go on your own, the Conservatory is requiring reservations, which are easy to get from the website, garfieldconservatory.org.
If the Garfield Park Conservatory is inconvenient, you could sketch at
- Lincoln Park Conservatory, which also requires reservations, or
- Oak Park Conservatory, which does not.
(Plug from a local: the charming Oak Park Conservatory is a gem, with three well-established rooms, a small koi pond, and a couple of showy parrots. On-street parking and free admission too, located right off the Eisenhower.)
Our virtual throwdown will take place on Sunday Dec. 19 starting at 12 noon on our FB group. Share your sketches from this month and see what fellow members have created. To make your post easy to find, use the tag #uskchicago.
