The Museum of York County will host the annual “Come Draw with Me” event on Saturday, Jan. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bring a sketch pad and pencils and join the Catawba River Art Guild, Winthrop University art students and other local artists in sketching and rendering drawings taken from the Museum of York County’s vast collection of natural history specimens.
The Museum of York County’s nature-themed art exhibitions “Birds in Art,” “Wild Fabrications” and Dottie Moore’s “Nature’s Tapestries” will be open for inspiring exploration during the event. The museum’s Settlemyre Planetarium will feature a special exoplanet drawing activity, which when digitally submitted to NASA’s website will be loaded aboard the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) spacecraft. The TESS will discover thousands of exoplanets in orbit around the brightest stars in the sky.
New this year, the event will offer, for a small fee, two special drawing instruction sessions for ages 12 and older. Dr. Brad Sabelli, president of the Catawba River Art Guild, will be offering beginning instruction from 10 to 11 a.m. and intermediate instruction from noon to 1 p.m. Pre-registration for the instruction and a $10 non-refundable payment are required. To reserve your spot, email or call.
