The San Diego Parks Department has ordered a last-minute closure of the Spanish Village venue after 4pm, meaning Gallery 21 is unable to extend evening hours for the Art Show Reception. What was to be held Saturday 5-7pm will now be moved to the 1:30pm afternoon break (after the Workshops). So no need to fight the crowds for lunch… come over to Gallery 21 for light snacks instead!

Although the 2022 Seminar is sold out and tickets are required for Workshops and the Art Show Reception, the Drink & Draw and Sketchwalks are now open to all visitors! If you were unable to purchase a Seminar ticket, you can still join the rest of the attendees in the social events. All are welcome! See the schedule for times and locations.

Due to vacation schedules, the deadline for Art Show submissions has been extended to the end of August. We hope the extra time affords everyone — regardless of skill level — the opportunity to either dust off or create a new piece for exhibition. See the Call for Submissions to enter. Up to 4 pieces allowed!

It’s official… the Urban Sketchers San Diego 2022 Seminar is sold out! Thanks to all. This is gonna be fun!
