Our 2018 residency in Washington Square Park concluded today with an open-air drawing studio in the northwest corner of the park. Fine art materials from Blick Art Materials, an artist-in-residence, and special materials from The Drawing Center rounded out the experience. Made possible by Washington Square Park Conservancy, the City Parks Foundation, and the NYU Community Fund. Thank you to our individual donors as well, who help make these scenes possible across NYC. See you next year!
