May Sketch Walk At Doors Open Minneapolis (5/17-18)-- Updated Schedule

Hello Urban Sketchers Twin Cities!

Doors Open Minneapolis is back again for 2025! If you participated last year, you’ll know we had a great day of sketching behind the scenes at some amazing spaces. 

On the weekend of May 17th-18th, Urban Sketchers Twin Cities will be hosting a sketch walk as part of the official activities associated with Doors Open Minneapolis 2025. Sketching activities will be sponsored by Wet Paint. To provide more flexibility, we will have morning sketch walks on Saturday the 17th and Sunday the 18th. You are welcome to find lunch with other sketchers or stay the afternoon at your leisure.

PLEASE NOTE: Since the last blog post, our venues have changed due to scheduling issues. This is our new schedule and venues.
