Urban Sketchers Announces All Sponsors for 2013 Urban Sketching Symposium
In just two weeks, more than 200 urban sketchers will attend the Urban Sketchers’ 4th Urban Sketching Symposium Barcelona. For three days, July 11-13, 2013, over 200 sketching enthusiasts will take sketching workshops throughout the city, exploring themes such as Telling the Story, Seeing the Light, and Expressing Yourself. As part of the event, we are proud and fortunate to be working with the following sponsors, some of whom are providing donated materials for those participating in the three-day event organized by Urban Sketchers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering the art of on-location drawing.
Presenting Sponsor

Symposium participants will gather for over 20 hands-on sketching workshops, demonstrations and lectures in Barcelona. Sketchers will gather at CCCB and will attend lectures at Sant Lluc. The workshops are led by an influential team of local and international artists, listed on the Symposium site, bcn2013.urbansketchers.org.
