Where you'll be

After we meet, we'll walk to some of Chicago's best views. We'll visit places along the River Walk, through the streets of Downtown, the Chicago Cultural Center, Harold Washington Library, Magnificent Mile, The Water Tower, Grant, Park, Lincoln Park, Millennium Park, and more. When it rains or it's too cold, we'll sketch indoors.
