See your city through the art of sketching. This is a 3-hour guided walking and transit experience that invites communities to slow down, observe the built environment, and document what they see through drawing and conversation. As we move through streets, public spaces, and transit connections, we sketch, map, and reflect on how people experience the city, capturing meaningful moments through art.
