Mission:

150th Anniversary

Welcome to the Philadelphia Sketch Club
150 Years of Art

America's oldest continuously operating club for professional artists and their admirers. 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.

New: Visit our new Galleries Page now featuring portraits by Thomas P. Anshutz as they appear in a frieze around the Club's Library
