ASIALINK SKETCHWALK PENANG 2024

ABOUT ASIALINK SKETCHWALK 

The ALSW aims to celebrate and cultivate the practice of on-location drawing in the host city. This non-profit event offers valuable field-sketching tips and provides opportunities for participants to connect with others, make new friends, and improve their skills. Many ALSW participants are part of the global Urban Sketchers (USk) community, which shares the ethos of "sharing the world, one drawing at a time." In 2024, we're excited to bring ALSW to Penang, continuing the tradition of artistic exploration and community building.

ABOUT THE ORGANISER

Urban Sketchers (USk) Penang, along with co-organizer Penang Watercolor Society, is spearheading this year’s ALSW. Established in June 2010, USk Penang previously organized Georgetown Sketchwalks in 2012 and 2014. As a chapter of the global Urban Sketchers NGO community, USk Penang is dedicated to on-location drawing.

Our passion lies in capturing the essence of the places we live in and visit, one drawing at a time. We are committed to enhancing the artistic, storytelling, and educational aspects of on-location drawing, advocating for its practice, and fostering connections among individuals worldwide who engage in drawing where they live and travel. USk Penang stands as a prominent chapter in the Asian region and is the pioneering chapter among eight cooperative chapters in Malaysia.
