When choosing sketching spots, we aim for locations that are inspiring, welcoming, and practical. Here are a few things we consider when planning our monthly outings:

• Visual Variety: Places with people, architecture, or nature that tell Ann Arbor’s story.
• Accessibility: Easy to reach by foot, bike, or public transit, with parking nearby.
• Amenities: Restrooms, seating, and shelter when possible.
• Permission: We prefer public spaces, or private areas with approval.

These guidelines help ensure our sketch outings are comfortable and inclusive for everyone.
