Saturday, Feb. 4: Lunar New Year Celebration at Seattle
Asian Art Museum
Seattle Asian Art Museum
10 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
1400 E. Prospect St. (Volunteer Park)
The Seattle Asian Art Museum is sponsoring a family-focused
Lunar New Year Celebration, including a Lion Dance, drop-in art activities, and
a storytime inspired by the holiday. Festivities begin at 11 a.m. at Fuller
Garden Court, but let’s start sketching at 10 a.m. when the museum opens to get
ahead of the crowd. Meet outside the museum entrance. If weather permits, sketch SAAM’s lovely art deco building itself
or Volunteer Park. Per SAAM’s website:
“As part of our operating agreement with the City of Seattle
for the Seattle Asian Art Museum art deco building located in Volunteer Park,
admission pricing at the Seattle Asian Art Museum is suggested. Visitors here
may pay what they wish for entry.” Admission
or membership is required to see exhibits. See SAAM’s
website for more details.

Attention Google Group E-mail Subscribers
Some Google email group members are still occasionally finding our emails in their spam folders. Please go into your spam folder options and choose “never block” mail from
urbansketchers-seattle@googlegroups.com . We are also experiencing occasional problems with our emails not going out at all or only to some members. It’s frustrating and annoying, but we don’t know how to resolve it. Hopefully we’ll soon be able to go back to having a standing meeting day, at least through the summer! Thanks for bearing with us as we continue to schedule outings on short notice!
love to join, are most outings during the week?
ReplyDeleteSandee
We schedule at least one outing per month on a weekend (usually the third Sunday of the month) and at least one on a Friday. In the warmer weather months, we usually meet several times a month.
Deleteam just beginning to sketch during self isolation. please recommend online courses available. thank you
ReplyDeletemyblueprint.com has excellent online video art courses, including many on urban sketching! Have fun and keep drawing!
DeleteHi Miata
DeleteI tried going on blueprint but did not come up with the art site. Do you have another name for it? Thanks
Unfortunately, Bluprint went out of business a few months ago. :-(
DeleteIt has been rebranded as Craftsy again: https://www.craftsy.com/#
Deleteplease let us know when we can start sketching together, 6 feet away right? With masks?
ReplyDeleteHi Sandee! We're all eager to sketch together again! We are following Gov. Inslee's requirements for organizations to resume meetings. Currently King Co. is in modified phase 1, which limits social gatherings to 5 or fewer people outdoors.
DeleteHello fellow sketchers
ReplyDeleteIs anyone sketching in downtown Seattle these days? I go to the Market and stay outdoors and it seems to work fine. Please let me know if you are starting up again. Stay Well
Hi Susan! We're all eager to sketch together again! We follow Gov. Inslee's requirements for meetings. The limit for our type of organization is still 5 or fewer people outdoors. Since we have no way to limit the number of people who might show up at a sketch outing, we are still not organizing any official outings. But you are welcome to invite 4 or fewer friends for an outdoor gathering while maintaining social distance and following other safety protocols. Stay safe and happy sketching!
DeleteIt is now mid-March 2021 any more thoughts about meeting outside now that spring is coming? Thanks, susan
DeleteHi Susan! We are still following the state's requirements for "recreational" gatherings, which are currently restricted to 15 people from no more than 2 households. We are as eager to sketch again as a group as you are! Thanks for your patience, and happy sketching!
DeleteHi there! I am on the communications team for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and we would be interested in starting an conversation with you for hosting an outing in the future after the current COVID-19 restrictions are softened. My email is hudson.k@portseattle.org to connect. Thank you! -Kate
ReplyDeleteI’m having trouble finding out about upcoming outings. A friend recommended urban sketchers seattle but didn’t give my the way to connect
ReplyDeleteHi Gay! Do you see the announcement on this page (above)? This is where we announce the outings. We are also on Facebook. If you'd like to receive email announcements, please make a request at usk.seattle at gmail.com , and we'll put you in our Google group. Thanks for your interest!
DeleteWhen does the March 2022 outing get posted?
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! We don't have it scheduled yet... we are playing it by ear this month so that we can meet outdoors and will likely announce on short notice based on the weather. The best way to be informed is to get on our Google mailing list, which I think you are already on...?
DeleteHello, I applied to join Seattle Urban Sketcher group via Facebook. Is it ok to attend an event as a guest?
ReplyDeleteThere's no actual "membership" involved ;-) ... anyone can attend at any time! :-)
