Join us for an exciting event in partnership with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association, where we’ll explore the vibrant relationship between music and architecture. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, this hands-on workshop offers a unique Chicago experience. You'll refine your sketching skills while appreciating the beauty of Symphony Center. All necessary supplies will be provided.

For this special workshop, we ask interested participants to consider loaning their artwork to the CSOA for a special Open House Chicago exhibition. Any exhibited sketches will be returned to participants at the close of Open House Chicago (October 19 & 20).
