ArtsConnect’s ArtsCalendar is a work in progress. Presently, we are working with a small group of arts organizations from across the Tri-Cities to develop the ArtsCalendar before we open up submissions from all arts organizations and we are not accepting direct submissions at this time. If your organization is interested in joining the ArtsCalendar in the future, please email your name, address, and a brief description of your organization to: [email protected]
This resource has been made possible through the financial support of ArtsConnect’s members. If you would like to support the further development, please consider becoming a member here: Membership
Discover, Learn and Sketch with Urban Sketchers Vancouver Members
Join Urban Sketchers Vancouver at the Opus Art Supplies Coquitlam location! Discover how to get involved, the group’s core values, and gain insight into Urban Sketching! The lead artists will begin with a “Sketchbook Show and Tell.” They will also be available to answer any questions you may have about urban sketching and what to consider when heading out to paint outdoors, from art materials to additional gear!
Following the indoor activities, attendees will head out from the Coquitlam store to explore local parks or Mackin House, putting their skills into practice in a lively outdoor setting. The event will conclude back at Opus, where everyone is invited to share their sketches, experiment with fun art materials, and foster meaningful community connections among fellow art enthusiasts. This gathering promises to be a wonderful opportunity for creativity and collaboration – register today!
Materials – Participants are required to supply their own art materials for the outdoor portion of the event. Please dress for the weather and for being outside.
What to Bring:
Sketchbook
Drawing tools (pens, pencils, markers, watercolour paints, etc.)
Optional: portable stool
Water bottle or snack
