June 28: Sketching in Fort Worth!

Veronica Lawlor's lively sketch of the interior of Grand Central in NYC illustrates the creative opportunities for sketching in these grand  old terminal buildings.

June sketching in Fort Worth: Saturday June 28, 2:30-5pm
T&P Lofts, 221 West Lancaster Street

This month brings us back to downtown Fort Worth, where we've chosen a venue with both outdoor and indoor (air-conditioned) options!  The Texas and Pacific Passenger Terminal Building—now the T & P Lofts—is a beautiful 1930 art deco/”zig-zag moderne” building that now houses lofts for urban living.  SketchCrawl regulars Tim and Donna Young live in the building, and will host us there.  Sketching opportunities include the magnificent facade of the T & P and the interiors of its Grand Ballroom, passenger waiting areas, the train platform and passenger trains, and unique architectural details galore.  The beautiful Greek Revival Main Post Office is immediately next door as well.  Meet in front of the main building entrance at 2:30PM.

Anyone who wishes to participate is welcome!  We will chat briefly, then disperse to sketch singly, in pairs or groups as you wish.  We’ll reconvene in The Tavern adjacent to the Grand Ballroom at 4:30pm to share sketchbooks and for a group photo, then adjourn for optional social time at The Tavern.  Downtown on-street parking is free on weekends. There’s a free TRE parking lot at the corner of Vickery @ S. Main on the south side of I-30 that has walkways under I-30 to the building.  Questions? Email jim@townscape.com
