Black Hippie Art X ICA Philadelphia Sketch Club Recap

Events

Jun 16

On June 10th 2023, I had the pleasure of hosting a sketch club meetup at ICA Philadelphia. For those who don’t know anything about ICA Philadelphia, its a local Philadelphia gallery space that focuses on contemporary works from artists of all kind. This an art space that is free for all and is apart of the University of Pennsylvania. If you have never visited the space, I definitely recommend that you do.

**Our still life display inspired by the SWARM exhibit**

For this past visit, we were able to sketch a still life subject inspired by their current exhibition, SWARM, by Terrance Nance and curated by Maori Holmes of Blackstar Film Festival. It was such an amazing afternoon of food, art-marking and connections. The best part of this meetup was not only being able to see the exhibition at the end of the meetup but being sponsored by Blick Art Materials. They provided us with their amazing sketchbooks and some drawing penical trail sets.

**Special thanks to Blick Art Materials for the sponsorship!**

All in all, everyone had such an amazing time sharing their creative processes and taking the time to relax with some sketching in a beautiful art space.
