## About

A free, informal sketching meet-up for teenagers at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Teens bring a pencil and sketchbook, then follow drawing prompts or settle at a favorite spot in the galleries with a friend. No experience is needed and there is no instruction to keep up with — it is time to draw from real artworks among other teens. Meet in the West Building lobby; stay for part or all of the two hours.
