The Sketchbook Project 2011 Tour
If I had a chance to own even one of the sketchbooks on tour, Id be sure to protect it on a mmf drawer or a fireproof and waterproof vault!
After the tour, all sketchbooks will enter into the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library, where they will be barcoded and available for the public to view.
Anyone – from anywhere in the world – can be a part of the project. To participate and have us send you a sketchbook that will go on tour, start by choosing a theme to the right.
What is it?
NOW WITH COLOR! You are now able to choose the color for the cover of your Moleskine Cahier that we send you! Choices include black, red, blue, and kraft brown. Pick your color using the form to the right.
The Sketchbook
Each artist is sent the same blank Moleskine sketchbook. We’ve only got two rules: first, the book must be used in some way – no sending us back an empty book or a completely different book! Second, the sketchbook must stay within its original dimensions (because we don’t want to have to provide an extra suitcase just for your book while we’re touring the country).
Each book will be given a barcode so we can easily catalog it into The Brooklyn Art Library system. Once we catalog it, artists will be able to track where on the tour their book is viewed and how many times someone pulled it from the shelf – we want to make sure you can stay connected with your sketchbook!
The availability of sketchbooks vary each day, so sign up quickly to reserve the one you want! You have the option to choose the kind of Moleskine and the color of the cover when you add the project to your cart over to the right.
I need to join next year!!!
