If, when you’re out amongst the whirling art this weekend, you notice a number of people wandering around the TC with sketchpads, perhaps solo, or perhaps in small groups, you may wonder what’s going on with all the people sketching. Wonder no longer!

This weekend is SketchCrawl, and people around the world are encouraged to go out and sketch. Sketch all that they see, and share it on the web, and along the way, try to help raise money for some good causes. This SketchCrawl is to benefit Emergency, an organization that helps civilians in war-torn areas. And, like other artistic nudge-type events (Nanowrimo, etc), it’s a way to get people motivated to get out and draw.

So, if you see someone with a sketch pad, or two someones, or many someones, find yourself a pencil and a cocktail napkin and sketch along with them.
