The Sketchbook Project

A mobile library of sketchbooks in front of the Hunter Museum of Art = a beautiful marriage.


Ever since it started, I have followed the Sketchbook Project with curiosity bordering, at times, on fandom. Today, I got to see one of the founders checking out books, acquire and use a library card, peruse interesting pages, roam an Etsy shop and Facebook page for one of the artists, and even purchase a sketchbook of my own for future submission.


An impressive worldwide collection of 27,000+ sketchbooks recording hopes and dreams, aspirations and inspirations, scribblings and musings by people in more than 11,000 cities, the Sketchbook Library can be seen in person and on the computer. Think about that. And it's all free to read!


The Sketchbook Mobile Library may be headed your way, and if so, go! You will not regret it!
