We let you know that The Sketchbook Project was coming to Orlando, and now it's here til Sunday July 31, 2011, noon - 5pm. The show opened Friday at the FullSail Live Venue and is a MUST SEE, so get there before it moves on to the next city.
The project is set up like a library. Each visitor gets a library card when they first walk in and then proceed to a large room where they can check out two of the 10,000 sketchbooks at a time. Tables and chairs are provided. Each book is a glimpse into the life of an artist. Some of the books are hand drawn sketches, some are paintings, some of collages and most are mixed media. But whatever the medium, there are millions of stories contained in this collection of original art pieces.
