Travel Artist: Real Places, Real Stories

Join urban designer and artist Jim Richards, who has traveled with his sketchbook across the globe, from the savannahs of Kenya to the Central Highlands of Vietnam, from the Hemingway haunts of Key West to the customs interrogation room of the Havana airport. His new book TRAVEL ARTIST shares his transformational experience of international travel, and the added richness and creative rush that closer observation and on-location sketching brings to it. The book is a must-have for creatives, for urban sketchers, and for anyone with an explorer’s heart and a creative itch. Broadway Books will bring books to the event for Jim to sign, and we strongly recommend pre-ordering the book from them to make sure you get a copy: https://broadwaybooks.net/book/9781961856547

This is a free event. Please pre-register, seating is limited.
