Last winter, I went out to Brooklyn to view The Sketchbook Project, an AMAZING art exhibit. It's coming back to Brooklyn February 19-27, so mark your calendars!
The Sketchbook Project is a collection of thousands of Moleskin journals that have been sent to artists all over the country. Each artist fills out the Moleskin according to a theme. Last year, some of the themes included "Elephant in the Room" and "From a Worm's Perspective."
The only rules are that the artist must do something to the sketchbook and that the sketchbook has to stay within its original dimensions.
The Sketchbook Project is set-up like a library. Each sketchbook has a bar-code, and you get a temporary "library card" at the exhibit. You can check out two books at a time for viewing.
After The Sketchbook Project tour has ended, the books are cataloged at The Brooklyn Art Library. You can check out last year's sketchbooks there, if you're interested.
I'll definitely be going to this exhibit in February, so if you'd like to come along, let me know!
