Urbansketchers Hyderabad is celebrating a major milestone: its 300th event, with the week-long #uskhyd300 from December 8-14, 2024. Over these seven days, participants will come together to document the city’s diverse landmarks and everyday scenes through 300 unique sketches. This special event honors Hyderabad's culture, architecture, and people, inviting artists of all levels to capture the city's essence.

The event begins with a workshop at Lamakaan on December 8 from 1:30 to 3:30 PM. This session will introduce urban sketching techniques, from capturing perspectives to adding dynamic line work, and provide participants with event schedules, materials suggestions, and daily themes. Lamakaan serves as the gathering point for this kickoff and as the venue for the final exhibition on December 14, where all 300 sketches will be displayed, creating a visual tapestry of Hyderabad.

Each day, participants will sketch at a new iconic location, exploring Hyderabad's beauty and variety. Planned spots include Charminar, Chowmahalla Palace, Hussain Sagar Lake, and Laad Bazaar, each with its unique character. Mornings feature sketch walks, afternoons offer workshops led by experienced artists on advanced techniques, and evenings bring everyone together to share and discuss the day’s artwork.

Special activities include a night sketching session at Charminar, a children’s sketching workshop, and a bustling market sketch at Laad Bazaar. The closing event on December 14 at Lamakaan will showcase the week’s collective work, inviting the public to view the 300 sketches and hear from participants. The #uskhyd300 event reflects the dedication of Urbansketchers Hyderabad to its art community and aims to deepen connections among artists while showcasing Hyderabad’s vibrant urban landscape.
