The Sketchbook Project

// October 1st, 2009 // Art, Design, Life

Sketchbooks offers a glimpse into an artist’s life, which is why The Sketchbook Project‘s goal is to create a publicly accessible library of sketchbooks that people can browse, peruse, and check out. The Project was started by Art House Co-op in Atlanta, whose premise is that this sketchbook collection has the potential to open a new line of communication between artist and viewer, since the experience of making and viewing are both so personal. Before joining our permanent collection, completed sketchbooks will be exhibited at select galleries across the US.

I’m participating in The Sketchbook Project. Check out my blank, pristine Moleskin sketchbook as it arrived. I have to fill it with art and return for a national gallery tour. My topic: Danger, Danger. Should be fun!

The completed sketchbooks will hit Atlanta, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, St. Louis and Chicago galleries before entering the Sketchbook Project permanent collection.
