HAM x Urban Sketchers in Esplanade Park 15.8.2024 18:00 - 21:00 Join us in drawing people, sculptures, and the August night atmosphere in Esplanade Park. HAM organises a drawing session with the Urban Sketchers Helsinki community on the Night of the Arts. We will draw what we see from direct observation and in our personal style. We will use various drawing instruments and explore mixed media. No earlier experience is required. HAM will provide paper and borrow pencils to draw. Urban Sketchers in a nutshell: We meet at a designated location and review the idea for the drawing session. Everyone draws at their own pace at a spot of their choice for two hours. Finally, we will look at the sketches together, photograph them, and discuss our observations. Note! You can join the event whenever you like. Several artworks from HAM’s collections can be found in Esplanade Park, including the Aallottaria / Water Nymphs (1940) fountain sculpture by Viktor Jansson. You will find us next to the sculpture, which is located opposite the restaurant Kappeli. Free entry – we warmly invite you to join us! Urban Sketchers is a global community that promotes on-location drawing and connects people who draw in places where they live and travel. Urban Sketchers Helsinki is the community’s subgroup operating in Helsinki. Follow Urban Sketchers on their website and Instagram account. HAM manages the City of Helsinki’s art collection and oversees the city’s historically significant and continuously growing public art collection. Art can be experienced all over Helsinki: Nearly 300 public artworks from the city’s public art collection are found in Helsinki’s parks, streets and squares. #HAMxUrbanSketchers #HAMhelsinki #urbansketchershelsinki Photo: Tom Serratti/Urban Sketchers.
