From 1- 7 May every year, we will be showcasing the activities of our community and the many different ways that urban sketching brings people together & changes lives around the world.

Ein, Zwei, Polizei… Results of the March meeting of USkLux at the Policemusee
Our visit to the police museum was a real discovery. We were warmly welcomed by a very friendly policeman, one of the volunteers who run the museum.
The large sous-terrain contains a wealth of props illustrating the history of Luxembourg's police and gendarmes. But there are also a large number of objects from foreign corps.
You can sniff the atmosphere of the afternoon in this youtube video
Quite a lot of people turned up, eager to to draw - familiar faces and some newcomers too (welcome to our group!)
It was extremely difficult to choose an item or scene to sketch. Way too much choice! Shall we sketch a remarkable scene, a mannekin in a fantastic costume or a shiny detail?
Here the (partial) harvest of the afternoon. It does not show all the sketches made that afternoon as some participants had to leave early.
And here some individual results:

Fabulous results from the February sketchcrawl at Sofitel Grand Ducal
Our February sketch meeting on a grey Sunday in February was a great success! A large group of happy urban sketchers spent the afternoon in the bar L'Observatoire, overlooking Luxembourg city. The bar is on the 8th floor of the Sofitel Grand Ducal. Thanks to the barman Antonio and his team for their patience with us taking over the bar!
We sketched the view from the large windows as you can see below:

Discovering the Nationalmusée um Fëschmaart
A large group of sketchers came for the first sketch meeting on 2024. We were in the national museum of archaeology, history and art. We spread out in the underground galleries, which are used to display the very significant archaeological collections of the museum. From prehistorical items to Roman times!
