WELCOME TO THE SKETCHBOOK PROJECT
The Sketchbook Project is a global, crowd-sourced art project and interactive, traveling exhibition of handmade books. Our mission is to allow anyone to be able to participate in art and to create a collection of work that represents the current state of artists worldwide.
We travel the continent with sketchbooks from artists all over the world. The best part is, anyone can join!
Wanna participate? Anyone, from anywhere is welcome to participate in The Sketchbook Project. Sign up, get a book and send it back.
We offer educational discounts. We have had schools from Kansas to Sudan participate in the project. Get your class signed up today!
Track our adventure. Chances are we are going to be headed to a city near you sometime soon. Follow along with us!
Connect a new sketchbook! Just get your book in the mail? Buy a new sketchbook in person? Connect it to your account here.
We have 3 libraries. Find out more info about Brooklyn Art Library, Mobile Library, and The Digital Library.
We create projects, and communities. We create lots of different projects. We have something for everyone!
Because we have people from all kinds of backgrounds in our community. From writers, to poets, to photographers, we use the word 'sketchbook' as a loose term for experimentation in creativity. Join tens of thousands of people in this global, traveling art library. See ya'll on the road.AND DON'T EVEN SAY "BUT, I'M NOT AN ARTIST."

It's like a food truck where you get sketchbooks, instead of tacos.
