Februrary Monthly USK Twin Cities sketchout at the Fiorentino Museum

Saturday February 17, 2024      12:00-3:00PM

Urban Sketchers Twin Cities sketchers will have the wonderful opportunity to sketch in the James J Fiorentino Museum for our next sketchout. https://www.clocksandstuff.org/

This museum is open by appointment only and Urban Sketchers Twin Cities is thrilled they will be opening especially for us on Saturday 2/17. Join us in the Warehouse District for an afternoon sketching antique and restored cuckoo clocks, beer steins, phonographs, and much more. The building housing the collection is also very sketchable. 

Things to know: bring your own sketching stool or seating, no charcoal is allowed in the museum. And, as always, be tidy as we're guests in this space.
