What is an Urban Sketchers Chapter?

A USk Regional Chapter is a local community that meets to sketch and share and that promotes the Urban Sketchers mission and manifesto. USk Regional Chapters maintain an online presence, such as a blog or Facebook group. 

Chapter FAQ

How to start a new USk regional chapter

To be successful, you need:

  • A geographically-defined, inclusive community of individuals who practice on-location sketching in the spirit of the Urban Sketchers Manifesto;
  • A free online platform (we never charge our members to attend sketch sessions) where your members can share sketches, interact with each other and find information about the chapter’s events;
  • A minimum of three administrators who are committed to the USk Mission and manifesto. Being a regional chapter administrator requires a commitment to the success of your community of sketchers, including planning sketching events, sharing work online, and communicating with USk and other regional chapter leaders.
  • A group that has been sketching together and posting sketches online regularly for more than 6 months.
