Neighbourhood Sketchbook Project
No two sketchbooks are alike — they’re always a unique reflection of the person wielding the pen or pencil. So the sketchbook is an ideal medium for expressing individuality. See the sketchbook pages from members of 10 Downtown Eastside organizations, each charting their moments of joy, sadness, fear and beauty. At the opening reception, attendees will be invited to make their own sketchbooks as they draw inspiration from the featured collection to start a storytelling journey.
March 9 to 17. Opening March 9, 6 to 9 p.m.
Gallery Gachet, 9 West Hastings St.
