Drawn to Seattle

Beat this year’s winter blues by enjoying MOHAI’s exhibition, Drawn to Seattle: The Work of Seattle Sketcher Gabriel Campanario, featuring sketches from the award-winning Seattle Times blog and weekly column, “Seattle Sketcher.”

This fascinating exhibition opens up the pages of Campanario’s sketchbook to communicate the significant locations, events, and experiences that have filled his life in Seattle. From food trucks and cyclists, to the Smith Tower and Freeway Park, Drawn to Seattle is a great way for family and friends to experience the people and places that make Seattle a vibrant urban center.

The Drawn to Seattle exhibit will be divided into four sections: Iconic Seattle, Hidden Places, Community Stories and Changing Landscape. The exhibit will include the history of newspaper sketchers and highlight other sketchers in Seattle’s history.

The exhibit will feature over 100 works. Many sketches have been featured in Campanario’s weekly Seattle Times column and will be accompanied by information from his blog posts. The exhibit will also include a few of his personal sketches. There will also be programming space within the gallery where the windows in the Southwest corner of the room will be revealed and visitors are invited to sit, sketch and enjoy. Several weekends during the run of the exhibit Campanario and other members of Seattle’s Urban Sketchers group will be in the space sketching and will chat/interact with visitors.

This exhibit has closed.
