Details: 

Join Urban Sketchers Twin Cities for a day of sketching on a living-history farm just north of 694 in Brooklyn Park. Admission is FREE.

The Eidem Farm is a 19-acre time machine back to the turn of the 20th century, when Brooklyn Park was among the top potato farming regions in the U.S. Deeded to the City of Brooklyn Park in 1970, the farm operates as a living-history museum to show what farming life was like and hosts programs for school children, community events, musical presentations, celebrations, and private events.

Sketchers will find a variety of scenes to capture on their visit, from structures to nature scenes. Artists who enjoy architecture will be able to see both interiors and exteriors of the well-preserved Victorian house, outbuildings, barns, equipment, and nature lovers will appreciate sketching sights in the gardens, along the walking paths, and the farm animals.

 

Where: Brooklyn Park Historical Farm
4345 101st Ave N, Brooklyn Park, MN 55443

Time: 11:00 Meet and Greet Urban Sketchers hosts near the entrance. The farm will open at 10 am, so come early if you'd like and find the group near the entrance at 11.

Throwdown: Meet up again at 1:45 to share sketches and take a group photo.
