2021 COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM

The Community Grant program was established in 2019 to enable enthusiastic USk chapters worldwide to partner with a local community group (not-for-profit, school, art organization, city agency) to develop and implement a workshop that will share and and celebrate the life-changing power of on-location drawing.

COVID’s unpredictable nature meant that the Community Grantees were unable to administer their proposed projects in 2021. Each grantee promised to execute on the outreach programs as soon as local restrictions were lifted. In keeping with the prudent bookkeeping of the organization, funds were not disbursed to the grantees until the local chapters were ready to enable the outreach programs. The community grant program continues to be funded by anonymous donors and matching donations from Urban Sketchers and patrons.
