The Philadelphia Sketch Club


Where Artists Grow


Mission:
With over 150 years of artistic heritage, the Philadelphia Sketch Club has a mission to provide a community for visual artists, appreciation of the visual arts and visual arts education.



Welcome to the Philadelphia Sketch Club
150 Years of Art

America's oldest artist club. Since 1860 the PSC has served as a meeting place, forum for ideas, and vital bridge between the creators and supporters of contemporary art. Past luminaries have included such American masters as Eakins and Anshutz. Present luminaries could include YOU!

We welcome all to the Club, and urge professional artists to join in our continuing heritage.
