The Neuberger Museum of Art, located at the heart of SUNY Purchase College, is a vital cultural resource of modern, contemporary, and African art for Westchester County, NY, and beyond. From the mid-century American and African art that form the collection's core to the presentation of contemporary art, the museum continues the commitment of founding patron Roy R. Neuberger (1903-2010) by championing the art of our time.
In any other city it would be the major cultural center. In New York City, the Brooklyn Museum is our forgotten treasure. The museum is home to an exquisite collection housed in a fabulous Beaux Arts building. Anywhere you choose to sketch you'll have a wonderful subject.
The Egyptian collection is world renowned as are many of the Asian art collections. The American decorative Arts collection is endless and the colonial homes and period rooms on the top floor are fascinating. To say nothing of the permanent installation of Judy Chicago's "The Dinner Party". ( a MUST see if you haven't ever done so!) And on and on it goes!
But wait there's more....now there are two terrific shows up: Thierry Muggler and Jimmy DeSanna. You can find out more about these and many other temporary and permanent collections by visiting the web site: https://www.brooklynmuseum.org

Across the Globe we are witnessing coral reefs bleaching, inland lakes and rivers drying up, increased intensity of tropical storms, increased frequency of droughts and wildfires, melting sea ice, and global average sea level rise of six inches in the past 100 years. These are the just some of the real world effects of Climate Change. But close to home are real time efforts occurring to combat Climate Change.
In 2023 NYC Urban Sketchers plans to document through our art Climate Change Mitigation projects in our city and surrounding area. We need your help. Attached is a link to a Google Forms questionnaire on Facebook asking for your suggestions for potential locations for sketching that focuses on combatting Climate Change. Please submit your ideas.

The famed international auction house is the site for our Saturday sketch this week. You'll be surrounded by beautiful objects and interesting customers. The displays are on many floors and the collection of items to be auctioned always changes. There's always something fabulous to sketch at Sotheby’s. The staff at Sotheby's has always been warm and welcoming to urban sketching.
You will almost certainly see something that will get your creative juices going. By the way, if Joan Tavolott joins us, be sure to ask her about the time she sold her original art at Sotheby's. It’s one of my favorite art stories.
