Join us for our second virtual meet-up! 

Sunday, March 22

from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 and beyond!  

Members had a great time with this last week, so we're keeping it going.

This week's theme is Experimentation.

Grab a tool or medium you don't normally reach for, or try out a technique that's new to you. We all have our favorite art supplies . . . and then there are those that rarely get any action. Here's the little push you might need to get those out and experiment.

As we did last week, please post your images to our Facebook page at 2:45-3:00 p.m. Discussion of which "new" tool you used and anything you may have learned is encouraged!

All skill levels are welcome. And if you’ve been having trouble making it to a real meet-up, here’s your chance! 

Finally, of course, stay healthy!

With all the excitement about our 2020 Sketch Seminar announcements don't let our regular sketch meets get lost in the shuffle! 

Come join our Sunday, March 15, meet-up in the ever-changing Fulton Market district, where we'll sketch inside the new Time Out Market Chicago. This event is free, open to the public, and all skill levels are welcome. Thanks to Yelina Noskina for her lovely sketch in the invitation banner!
This recently opened block-sized brick structure is essentially a large atrium covered by a dramatic iron and glass skylight. Ground-floor communal tables are ringed by food vendors. A mezzanine level offers an overview of the main activity as well as limited views out to the Fulton Market district. If the weather’s nice, the top-floor Tony’s bar opens out into a terrace with limited, but interesting, views of the city skyline. Sometimes events take place in mezzanine bleacher seats, but the calendar doesn’t show anything yet for our date. It will be hard not to get hungry or thirsty; check out the info at https://www.timeoutmarket.com/chicago/eat-and-drink/. 

We will gather at noon and have our throw-down at 2:45 in the southwest corner of the mezzanine level, where a “Demo Kitchen” area will be empty early on a Sunday afternoon. Wherever you spread out, you’ll find tables and chairs or deep ledges for setting up your supplies.

For info on transit options, go to https://www.timeoutmarket.com/chicago/how-to-get-there/.

Hope to see you there!

Let’s Sketch Chicago-Block 37

Sunday, January 19, 2020 at 12 PM – 3 PM

Let’s start the New Year out sketching at a new location for USK Chicago! We will meet at the top of the escalator, 2nd floor by the ZARA retail store at 12 pm. After sketching and taking our group photo we can stay and try out some of the restaurants at this location

More about Block 37:

Block 37 takes its iconic name from one of the original

fifty-eight city blocks established in 1830. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the city’s early office buildings, The first skyscrapers of the 1890s, and the supermarkets of the 1930s were all built on this site. Serving as an important social space for the neighborhood, Block 37 embodies the forward-looking growth of the city by having stood at the forefront of every major historic market trend for the past century. Continuing with its rich tradition, Block 37 brings together a perfect mix of shopping, dining and entertainment that offer locals and visitors a stylish retreat in the heart of the historic downtown Chicago Loop Theatre District.

Parking: 

Spot Hero and Park Whiz should be quite affordable due to it being a Sunday. There is also a parking garage located below Block 37 for anyone with mobility issues

Public Transportation:

The Red Line CTA State/ Lake stop is very close by
