Location: Cleveland Public Main Library

325 Superior Avenue,

Let's Sketch The Cleveland History Center

Come sketch with us at the Western Reserve Historical Society (the Cleveland History Center) on Sunday the 18th from 1 to 4pm. The center CLOSES at 4, so we're going to have to gather to see everyone's sketches at 3:30 in the front lobby. It opens at 10am if you want to see the whole museum and still have time to draw. DRY MEDIA ONLY. 

LOTS TO SKETCH. Cars, planes, the Euclid Beach carousel, the big Chief Wahoo, Cleveland history exhibits, vintage dresses, the mansion itself with all it's architectural ornamentation, there's something for everyone! Unfortunately there is a charge for this one. Mention the urban sketchers and get $2 off admission, so it will be $13, $11 for seniors over 62. There's also a parking flat rate of $8, just bring your ticket in to get the discount. 

Google "Cleveland History Center" to see all the contributor photographs people have uploaded to get an idea of the breadth of things to see. It's incredible. The auto museum alone has an entire floor of just Cleveland related cars (it was neck and neck between Cleveland and Detroit as to which city was going to be the auto capital of the world at one point).
