Bienvenue! Join us in Toulouse, France from 15–18 July 2026.
We’re heading to the south of France for our next global gathering, in the sun-soaked city of Toulouse, La Ville Rose, where every street corner feels like a sketch waiting to happen.
Whether you’re just beginning or have been filling sketchbooks for years, this is your invitation to connect with sketchers from all over the world. Learn from inspiring instructors, explore the vibrant urban fabric of Toulouse together, and rediscover the joy of drawing on location, side by side.
Wander the rosy-hued alleyways, linger at cafés with your sketchbook open, and find beauty in the little things: a curved balcony, a quiet moment by the Garonne, the golden light catching on centuries-old brick.
Between workshops and wanderings, relax and mingle at our signature Drink ‘n’ Draw sessions. Share stories, trade tips, and grow your global sketching circle.
From lively markets to medieval landmarks, Toulouse offers a sketching rhythm all its own. It is warm, spontaneous, and full of life. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable experience, where we celebrate our shared love of seeing the world through drawing.
Follow Urban Sketchers on social media for the latest updates.
We can’t wait to sketch with you in Toulouse!
What happens in a Symposium?
Take a ride through the years and relive the magic from the past Symposiums all the way to the upcoming event in July.
Maybe it’s your first time or coming back for another. Let’s meet, sketch, learn, and share with our creatively inspiring worldwide USk family once again at the 14th International Urban Sketchers Symposium Toulouse!
Another extraordinary urban sketching adventure awaits you and your sketchbook. We hope to see you there.

Learn MoreAbout Host City
Known as La Ville Rose, or The Pink City, Toulouse glows with the warmth of its terracotta brick buildings and southern sunlight. The 4th largest city in France, it is both historic and forward-looking, home to landmarks like the Capitole and Basilica of Saint-Sernin, as well as aerospace pioneers Airbus and the Cité de l’Espace.
For sketchers, the city is alive with inspiration: bustling markets, riverside promenades, quiet cloisters, and lively plazas. With over 2,000 hours of sunshine a year and a spirit of joie de vivre, Toulouse is a city made for sketching, sharing, and savoring.
