Sketch Crawl Today!

Yes, it is raining, but the sketch crawl is still ON! If it's still raining, we'll stay indoors and hope the zoo isn't too crowded. ;) See you there!

Sketch Crawl- Saturday, April 25th

The next sketch crawl will be held at Lincoln Park Zoo Saturday, April 25th. We'll be meeting at 1:00 by the gorillas. See you there! :D
