SUMMARY:8th Swiss Urban Sketchers Symposium 2026 in St.Gallen
DESCRIPTION:The city of St.Gallen is famous for its picturesque old town with 111 ornate bay windows. The Abbey District\, with its impressive Baroque cathedral and the opulent Rococo hall of the Abbey Library\, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here\, history can be experienced at every turn. 
From September 3–5\, 2026\, urban sketchers from near and far will gather here to discover the city through drawing. The focus will be on drawing together and personal exchange. All artists are welcome\, regardless of skill level\, experience\, background\, or age. \nIn St.Gallen\, we are breaking new ground. At this year’s USk meeting\, we are offering you a program that focuses on drawing together and personal exchange… without workshops. We are focusing on 4 SketchWalks with a total of 18 SketchPoints\, during which we will discover the alleys and corners of the historic city of St. Gallen together. We also offer a great supporting program with plenty of opportunity to talk shop with old and new friends\, and we’ll give you an inspiring souvenir to take home with you. But you can also look forward to lots of familiar features – the organizing committee is already working on the program with enthusiasm and dedication. \nTickets are now available on the symposium’s website. Buy Tickets
