Come Draw With Me

Participate and observe local artists at work during Museum of York County’s annual event “Come Draw with Me” Jan. 21, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This year, thanks to a $500 award from the Arts Council of York County Small Grants Program, sketch pads and art supplies will be available as needed on a first-come-first-serve basis. Artists are invited to set up in the museum’s many galleries to draw from the vast collection of natural history specimens.

“Come Draw with Me” is an opportunity to observe and learn from professional artists at work. The Catawba River Arts Guild will be on site to guide emerging artists in drawing plants and animals in water ecosystems for a special project that explores aquatic habitats. The museum exhibits team will talk about the artistry involved in creating compelling displays. A special STEAM arts program takes place in the auditorium for Main Street Children’s Museum guests.

Admission is free with General Admission: Adults (18-59) $8; Seniors (60+) $7; Youth (4-17) $5; Members & Children (3 and younger) free.
