Urban Sketchers Buffalo

Urban Sketchers Buffalo is a vibrant part of the global urban sketching movement, uniting artists to depict the city's essence through on-location drawings.

 

Each month, members gather at various locales to sketch, fostering both artistic growth and community bonds.

 

These sessions are open to all, regardless of experience, and typically last about two hours.

 

Past venues have included Wilkeson Pointe, Forest Lawn, the Roycroft Inn, Artpark, and Bidwell Parkway.

 

In addition to regular meetups, the group occasionally hosts "throwdowns," where artists share their work, offering opportunities for feedback and inspiration.

 

Many participants also showcase their sketches online, extending the reach of Buffalo's creative community.

 

Looking ahead, Urban Sketchers Buffalo is set to participate in the upcoming International Urban Sketchers Week from May 1 to May 7, 2026.

 

This global event celebrates on-location drawing and encourages sketchers worldwide to share their work using the hashtag #USkWeek2026.

 

It's an excellent opportunity for local artists to connect with the broader sketching community and showcase Buffalo's unique charm.

 

For those interested in joining, simply bring your sketchbook and favorite tools to the next meetup.

 

It's a welcoming environment where you can meet fellow artists, explore the city, and hone your skills.
