2026 Ohio Regional Urban Sketchers Summit
Registration opens at 9:00 AM on May 16, 2026.
This year, join us in Cleveland for the 5th annual Ohio Regional Urban Sketchers Summit! This year's summit will be held on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at the Cleveland Institute of Art, an inspiring creative campus surrounded by architecture, public art and countless sketch-worthy views.
Cleveland offers endless inspiration—from iconic buildings and industrial character to vibrant street life along the lakefront. In addition to the ticketed workshops, we’re planning free public sketching meetups during the weekend, including: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, The Cleveland Museum of Art, and Patio dinner with fellow sketchers!
Artists and sketchers from across the Great Lakes region are invited to gather, learn and celebrate drawing together.
