Let’s Sketch the “Haunted” Franklin Castle

4308 Franklin Blvd., Cleveland, OH 
October 27th from 1:30pm to 4pm. It’s a private residence, so we need to be respectful, but this is a terrific building with lots of local lore about how it’s haunted, along with it being a great little neighborhood as well. Plenty of street parking nearby. See you on the 27th!

Let’s Sketch the Tinnerman Lofts POSTPONED.

 2048 Fulton Rd. Saturday June 29th, noon - 3pm.

THE EVENT IS POSTPONED DUE TO POOR WEATHER FORECAST. The good folks behind the Worthington Yards sketching event are hosting a plein air event at their other property, the Tinnerman Lofts, situated at Fulton and Lorain Roads. There is a courtyard and art collection at this property as well, and we’ve been wanting to check it out for years. Hope to see you there! Note the Saturday date, not a Sunday.

Let's Sketch The Old B&O Railroad Depot

 


829 Canal Rd, Cleveland, OH 44113
Sunday May 26th, from 1:30pm til 4pm
Let's head to the Flats and sketch this historic building. This is right by the blue lift bridge on Carter Rd. There's always tugboats parked nearby and plenty of free parking on West St. The building used to have a clock tower and was used as a train depot from 1898 till 1934. There was a rail yard next to it where the parking lot is now. Hope to see you there!

Let’s sketch the Maltz Performing Arts Center

 



1855 Ansel Rd, Cleveland, OH 44106 
Sunday April 21st, 9:30am til 12 noon.

NOTE THE EARLIER THAN USUAL TIME AND DATE. Per Wikipedia - Sited on a triangular-shaped block, the Temple was designed by architect Charles R. Greco in a mix of Byzantine Revival and Romanesque Revival styles.
It's an early in the day event as they have to set up for an orchestra rehearsal at noon. This looks like a special place and hope to see a lot of you there!!

 Let's Sketch the Cleveland Arcade

401 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44115 March 24, 2024 1:30pm til 4pm.


The Grand Dame of Cleveland, the Arcade was built in 1890. Contrary to popular legend, it wasn't the first indoor shopping mall in the US, but it's still a great place to draw. We haven't sketched in here since 2018, so it's time to revisit this gem.

Let's Sketch Asia Plaza
Our next outing will be at Asia Plaza.
https://asiaplazacleveland.com/
2999 Payne Ave, Cleveland OH February 25th, 1:30pm till 4pm
An indoor shopping mall in Asiatown. I have not been here in person but hope to check it out beforehand to see if there are any special needs to address for our sketchers. I would think if you have a sketching stool it would be a good idea to bring it. Hope to keep up the momentum from our interesting Brownhoist Bldg event!
