The Carolinas Sketch Crawl promotes urban sketching, expanding your skills, sharing art and connect with other artists. TICKETS ON SALE -- MARCH 1st at NOON Come and Urban Sketch the RAD in Asheville, NC! The River Arts District is the RAD to the locals and it’s radical! It is a vibrant artist community filled with artists, galleries, and breweries.

Come and immerse yourself in that artistic energy and sketch with us! - Friday starting at noon we have many activities planned, opening reception and ending the day with drink and draw. Plenty of time to explore the River Arts District (RAD) - Saturday we have Inspiring workshops led by talented instructors, opportunities to sketch alongside fellow artists.
