Join Sketch MOB 250 at Garner Arts Festival on May 16, 2026
On May 16th, join a sketch mob of 250 artists of all ages and skill levels to create a crowd-sourced landscape of the GARNER Historic District in celebration of GARNER Arts Festival’s 25th anniversary and America 250.

Batson conceived of the sketch mob in an essay Nyack Sketch Log Vs. Google Maps in Oct. 2011. You can see the art work of the 100 participants of the first sketch mob on June 16, 2012 here.
