| Primary Objectives Of The Event | The primary objective of Urban Sketchers Raipur, Episode 187 was to create a direct, observational visual record of Saksharta Chowk, which is situated beside Guru Tegh Bahadur Udyan along Gaurav Path in Civil Lines. This session brought artists together to capture and document this location in their sketchbooks. This also becomes a place for artists to connect and share their work with each other while taking a visual snapshot of Raipur to save for the city's urban landscape one location at a time. |
| Official Statement From The Organizers | Urban Sketchers Raipur is a local chapter of a global community dedicated to drawing on location and telling the story of our city through direct observation. For Episode 187, we gathered at Saksharta Chowk, a site featuring bronze-colored concrete statues elevated on a high platform with protective railings, lush greenery, and trees. Standing along the footpath on a drizzly, overcast monsoon morning, artists captured the scene from various angles and perspectives, with some choosing to focus entirely on individual details that caught their eye. |
