About us

Let's meet outside for some ART! My interest is watercolor and sketching, what's yours?
All skill levels are welcome. I'll pick a location once a month, and take suggestions for more frequent meetups. Bring your own supplies (even if it's a pen and notebook), things to keep you comfortable (chair, hat, water) and ideas for the next event.

Cinco de Mayo in the Mesilla Plaza
Sun, May 3 · 8:00 AM MDT
Location not specified yet
To celebrate Cinco de Mayo and to participate in International Urban Sketchers Week, we will meet in Mesilla to "walk" the plaza - one 30-minute sketch on each side of the plaza. But of course, as always, you can choose to sketch whatever and however you like. There will be decorations and other festival accoutrements likely (food trucks, etc.) but the plaza should not be crowded with people at 8:00 a.m. Water and restrooms MAY be available in coffee shops or businesses in the plaza area. We will meet at the gazebo at 8:00 and share sketches at 10:00. There are benches available but you may want to bring something to sit on. And bring your art supplies. Pancakes at Andele's after? Maybe?

MVAS Nature Journaling at NMSU Landscape Garden (8:30 MINI-LESSON)
Sun, May 17 · 9:00 AM MDT
NMSU Landscape Garden, 109 West University Ave., Las Cruces, NM, US
We're told that the Master Gardeners are planting large numbers of flowers to attract pollinators in the field next to the demonstration garden, which means that there could be a bumper crop of butterflies there! Even if there aren't, the established garden and water feature provide plenty to explore.
Join us at 8:30 for a mini-lesson on drawing butterflies, or at 9 to jump right into journaling. The garden is on the south side of W. University west of Main Street. Parking is available along the road and in a small parking lot. Learn more on their website: https://fabiangarciasc.nmsu.edu/visit.html
- Join us at 8:30 for a mini-lesson on drawing butterflies.
