Sketching Kaleidoscope: Viewing Dallas From a Different Lens

AIA Dallas, the AD EX, and NOMA are very excited to collaborate on a four-month series of on location meetups to sketch and learn about the diverse cultural history of Dallas. This family-friendly event is perfect for every level of experience, from beginners to experts. Join us every fourth Saturday at various landmarks around the city.

Suggested materials to bring with you to this event include:

• sketch book
• pencil, pen or your preferred drawing utensil
• folding chair or blanket (optional)

Save the dates for future meet-ups in this series: May 22nd and June 19th!

Monthly themes:

• March: Women’s History Month (Virginia Savage McAlester Residence)
