Urban Sketchers Vancouver

This group is for everyone who loves to draw!
It was started as the Urban Sketchers Vancouver movement and is now run by a professional artist and educator Ania Salmina.

For all the current and future members: This group will remain welcoming for everyone with free events provided. I am open to discussions and your suggestions. Please contact me at aniasalmina@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Urban Sketchers Vancouver is an official chapter of a global non-profit organization dedicated to promoting on-location drawing and connecting people from around the world who draw on location to tell their stories of the places where they live and travel.

We host sketch meetups in the Metro Vancouver area. As an official chapter, we follow the Urban Sketchers’ manifesto.

1. We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
2. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
3. Our drawings are a record of time and place.
4. We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
5. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
6. We support each other and draw together.
7. We share our drawings online.
8. We show the world, one drawing at a time.
