About the programme

At its heart, Sketch Chapter seeks to build a community of sketchers via a shared practice shaped by many perspectives. Rooted in the belief that art is collaborative and interdisciplinary, Gallery Sketch Chapter brings people together through drawing, dialogue, and discovery.

While Sketch Chapter lives in these everyday moments, selected programme dates offer more, from guided sessions to curated experiences and limited-edition keepsakes.

Come by anytime, or join us during guided sessions and be part of something special.
