To celebrate the 3rd anniversary of Urban Sketchers, a selection of works will be on display upstairs at Gatakers Creative Space.

The Urban Sketchers mission is to raise the artistic, storytelling and educational value of on-location drawing, promoting its practice and connecting people around the world who draw on location where they live and travel.

"See the world, one building at a time".

Nestled on the banks of the mighty Mary River, Maryborough is a beautiful town, rich in history, industry and culture, the choice of stunning architecture and scenery is a feast for the eye and inspiring to those wanting a diverse urban landscape. This pop up exhibition is a selection of on-location drawings and paintings from various artists of the Urban Sketchers Maryborough group.
