Currently running since the 16th of August till the 6th of October, 2012 is The First Urban Sketchers International Exhibition at Ackland Musuem at the University of North Carolina. A lot of the members from all over the world submitted sketches for this exhibition.
A majority of the proceeds from the sale of the sketches will go
directly to Urban Sketchers to support their educational programs such
as the annual Sketching Symposium and the Urban Sketchers Workshops
Program. The remaining proceeds will support the Ackland Art Museum.
I contibuted 3 sketches for the exhibition and they were mainly based on monuments and statues in London.
