No Instagram or Facebook? No problem. Here's an easy-to-use bulletin board where we can introduce ourselves, post questions, share information and connect with each other.

This board has no bells and whistles, but anyone can see the content without being at the mercy of social media platforms and their algorithms. If you are a registered user, you can also reply to threads and start new topics.

Here are a few ways to get started:

• Introduce yourself: Tell us where you’re from, what kind of sketching you enjoy and if you have attended Sketcher Fest already or this year will be your first.
• Share your sketches: Post drawings from your sketchbook — whether they’re from Edmonds, the Pacific Northwest, or anywhere else.
• Ask questions: Looking for sketching tips, materials, or local spots to draw? This is the place.
• Plan sketch meetups: Use the hub to connect with other artists and organize sketch walks or informal gatherings.

I hope the hub becomes a useful tool to keep the spirit of Sketcher Fest going before, during and after the event.

Sketch on!
