    http://www.facebook.com/events/302307693185042/ |cait@arthousecoop.com

    111 W Hastings St.

    Drop by the W2 Media Café to check out the 2012 Sketchbook Project and Tour Mail, our new creative project we’re sponsoring with our friends at the Art House Co-op, creators of the Sketchbook Project.

    The Sketchbook Project is a library of personal sketchbooks featuring the work of thousands of creative-minded people travelling to 15 cities around the world. The 2012 World Tour, a project from Brooklyn’s Art House Co-op with support from Prismacolor®, invites the curious to peruse these unique works from talented people while being the first to experience Prismacolor®’s new Brush|Fine Art Markers.

    You’ll also get the chance to participate in Tour Mail, a new tour-wide project from Prismacolor® and the Art House Co-op. Create a work of art with Prismacolor® markers, and it’ll be delivered to a Sketchbook Project attendee somewhere in the world. In return, you’ll get to pick a random envelope containing a piece of Prismacolor® art from another attendee in a different state.

    We’ll be on-hand with free giveaways, and we’ll also be demoing our new Prismacolor® Brush|Fine Art Markers. Our Brush|Fine Art Markers are double-ended, and are perfect for making varied lines in just one stroke.

    Please join this community of artists, designers and inspired creative people when the Sketchbook Project stops at a city near you.
