Current Session
Our Winter Program Season is now in session until March 5!
This season will focus on Afrikan Liberation in which SKETCH strives to support, prioritize and center young Black artists. There are several workshops led by young Black leaders and our Indie Studio Residency program will also prioritize the work and production of emerging Black artists.
We will close the season with a community exhibition highlighting work by artists throughout all SKETCH programs, in particular celebrating emerging Black artists and artists making work on these themes. This and every program season, SKETCH is committed to challenging Anti-Black Racism as part of our commitment to equity and anti-oppression. If you would like to learn more, feel free to contact any SKETCH Program Coordinator.
All SKETCH Studio Programs are FREE!
Most are DROP IN, but a few ask for you to sign up!
