ArtSnacks Sunday Sketch at the Smithsonian American Art Museum , Washington D.C.

  • Smithsonian American Art Museum 8th and F Streets, NW Washington, DC 20001 USA (map)

Join us for a special ArtSnacks event at the Smithsonian American Art Museum - SAAM! We'll meet at 4:00 pm in the main lobby (F Street entrance) and after we've all said hello to one another & made a plan, we'll head out to the museum to explore and find some inspiration to sketch. We'll plan to meet at 6:30 pm back in the main lobby to share our progress! 

Admission to the museum is FREE! 

Museum Guidelines: Drawing boards and sketch pads may be no larger than 18 x 24 inches and the museum allows “dry” media only: pencils, wax crayon, conte crayon, and erasers. Pens, loose ink, fountain pens, oil crayon, paint (including watercolors), easels or stands, and charcoal or pastel in stick form are not allowed.

Also, sketching is permitted only in permanent collection galleries and the Luce Foundation Center, not in special exhibitions. Here is a link to a PDF floor map, in case you want to check it out before you arrive: https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.saam.media/files/documents/2018-06/SAAM-NPG_map_accessible.pdf

We look forward to seeing you there!
