Vendors

New this year during the Sketchbook Fair, the Sketch Lounge will give attendees a place to step aside from the bustle of the exhibit hall and learn more about sketching. The relaxed space upstairs, hosted by ARTspot and Art Toolkit, will be set up with tables, chairs, and art supplies, giving visitors a place to unwind, draw, and connect.

Throughout the day, local sketchers will be opening up their sketchbooks and sharing advice about sketching for drawing enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you want to try a new material, meet fellow sketchers or decompress for a bit, the Sketch Lounge will be a welcoming spot to hang out and make some memories in your sketchbook.
