 Meetup of USk chapters Kingston, Montréal, Ottawa, and Toronto Saturday, August 16th, 2025

Members of the Kingston, Montréal, Ottawa and Toronto Urban Sketchers (USk) chapters will get together in Montréal for an afternoon of sketching on August 16th, 2025.

We will sketch in the area around Locks 1 and 2 of the Lachine Canal National Historic Site in the Old Port of Montréal. The canal was an essential link for shipping between the port of Montréal and the Great Lakes and is still open today for recreational boating. This year is the 200th anniversay of the Lachine Canal.

This historic district offers fabulous subjects to sketch. Within walking distance from our
meeting place you will find vestiges of 17th and 18th century New France, remnants of intense
industrial activity in the 19th century, and contemporary landmarks in the development of the
port area for heritage and tourism.

There are museums, monuments, cafés, parks, shops, cobblestone streets, and lots of people
to sketch!

  • 1:00 – 1:15 pm Welcome at the Marché des Éclusiers, 400 de la Commune St. W.
  • 1:15 – 3:30 pm Sketching time
  • 3:30 – 4:00 pm Meet again at the Maison des Éclusiers for a display of sketches
  • 5:00 – Drink and Draw (location to be confirmed)

Show Theme !!

We love themes. You love themes. Themes unite all vendors with something more than just pens and stationery. Themes mean fun, limited, beautiful curiosities to discover.

This year's theme: Moss and Ivy on a Stone Wall

In honor of the beautiful old buildings of Centre St. Jax, we have adopted this theme for the classical old feel that moss and ivy stone walls inspire. We promise lots of wonderful surprises, so keep your eyes on our Facebook and Instagram
