It's a wrap!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2025 Summit! Nearly 80 sketchers gathered throughout downtown Cincinnati and surrounding areas, including The Banks, the Museum Center, and Over-the-Rhine. BHDP Architecture provided the Summit venue and lunch for each participant. 

A good time—and a lot of sketching—was had by all. Check out the video to see some of where and what we sketched throughout the Summit weekend!
