The Sketchbook Project is destined to go down as one of the era’s most astonishing global art projects, having amassed more than 30,000 sketchbooks submitted by people from more than 130 countries. The Project continues to tour with its “mobile library” of sketchbooks, just a small selection of the vast collection on display at the Brooklyn Art Library and on The Sketchbook Project site

What does it take to create, maintain, and grow a cooperative art project like this? Sketchbook Project co-founder Steven Peterman moderates a panel with experts and collaborative artists—Sara Elands Peterman, Francesco Spampinato, Jason Wong, and Guno Park—to discuss collaborative and crowd sourced art and design.

This event is held in conjunction with the release of the new book The Sketchbook Project World Tour by Steven Peterman and Sara Elands Peterman. The book presents the most compelling, surprising, and visually stunning examples from this one-of-a-kind treasury. Bursting with color and bouts of whimsy, the sketchbooks capture the texture of personal experience in a dizzying variety of illustrative styles.
