This Saturday, April 3rd, the Cleveland Sketch Crawl will be taking advantage of the gorgeous weather and sketching in Ohio City. We’ll be sketching the area surrounding the Carnegie West Library ( Map ). The library is situated on a triangular piece of land that is bordered by Bridge and Fulton. The area is really a [...]
On September 5th, the we will be exploring one of my favorite locations in the city, the lower level of the Detroit Superior Bridge. Even though it is open about 3 times a year, this is still one of the most hidden places in the city. Amazingly…too many people have never taken advantage of these [...]
“Paul Farace and some of the ‘crew’ graciously hosted us for a tour of the sub and told us the history and background stories of restorting this WWII relic. I spent the majority of my time sketching the Galley (that’s kitchen for all ye land lovers). Don’t ask me my I just lapsed into Pirate…” [...]
“This Saturday, May 2nd, the Cleveland Sketch Crawl will be touring the USS COD…the World War II Submarine that is docked near Burke Lakefront Airport. As always, we’ll meet at 10am. The COD is located off North Marginal Rd. Get off the shoreway at E.9th and then turn towards the Rock n Roll Hall of [...]
“From there, we climbed up a series of levels (i think it was about 5 different sets of steep stairs and laddars) till we reached the room with the clock mechanism. We weren’t sure that we could make it to the clock though because some of the levels were pitch black. We had to wait [...]
“Saturday, March 7th, Trinity Cathedral will be the location for our next Sketch Crawl. The century old Church is one of the city’s finest examples of cathedral architecture and is an amazing location for a Saturday morning Sketch Crawl. There are alot of amazing stories behind the construction of Trinity and hopefully we’ll be able [...]
“Locally, we are also working on an archiving project with the Cleveland Public Library. It is part of a project called Downtown Through the Public Eye. When you attend the Sketch Crawl…be sure to scan your drawings and then email them to jtaylor@dcacleveland.net. All Sketches will be archived at the Library’s Downtown Branch. Once the [...]
“We’ll sketch our way past The “Q” and Progressive Field, and then head over to the Erie Street Cemetery across the street from Progressive Field. The cemetery houses some of the city’s oldest graves and while it is in the center of the city…it isn’t a well visited site. There are tons of great perspectives [...]
“Below are some of the images from our last Sketch Crawl. Sorry to everybody for the delay in getting these posted! I’ve been in the midst of battling computer issues here at work. But I won’t bore you with my technological issues. Take a look at the great images of the Arcade below! This was [...]
“This past Saturday we crawled through the Cleveland Public Library. We started off by heading through the Special Collections room of the Old Building (where we all received an excellent self-guided tour book of the library complex. I highly recommend picking up a copy at the Library gift shop). That room really is an amazing [...]
“Next Sketch Crawl: On February 2nd, we’ll be meeting at the Arcade as usual at 10am. From there we will head over to the Public Library. We’ll start in the old building and then work our way over to the newer branch if we have time. There is so much to see in the old [...]
“January 5th – We’ll be back on the same route we did this past Saturday. We will head over to the Soldier’s and Sailors Monument and spend time sketching inside (its warm in there…so no worries). We’ll also sketch the inner lobby of the BP tower…even though it is more modern…it is a great space [...]
“I apologize for the confusion about our next Sketch Crawl! Someone just pointed out that I mistakenly mentioned the date for the next Sketch Crawl being on December the 8th…when the first Saturday of the month is THIS Saturday. So…in case you have been lead astray by my previous post… …Our next Sketch Crawl is [...]
