Februrary 21 Sketchcrawl - Architectural Heritage Center

The Architectural Heritage Center has generously offered to let us meet and sketch inside their beautiful space, or outside on the street, weather permitting.

The non-profit Literary Arts, with a bookstore and cafe, is across the street.  Mother Foucault's Bookstore is next door, and SCRAP has moved nearby, to SE 6th and Washington.  The whole area, known as the East Portland-Grand Avenue National Historic District, offers plenty of cool old buildings to draw. 

The 15 bus, 6 bus, and A line of the streetcar all stop nearby.

• 10 AM: Meet inside the Architectural Heritage Center (701 SE Grand Ave, Portland, OR 97214) for introductions
• 12 noon: Meet back at AHC for a sketchbook throwdown (optional!)

Union Station

It was great to see everyone today, on a surprisingly sunny and warm(ish) day.  We couldn't have hoped for better weather in January.

 

Rose City Book Pub

 Thanks to everyone who came out to Rose City Book Pub last night! Stay tuned to our email list for future pub drawing adventures.

• 10am - Meet under the awnings outside the main entrance to Union Station
• 12 noon - Meet again at the same place for an optional throw-down
