The Philadelphia Sketch Club is America's oldest club for visual artists, founded in 1860 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It has served for over 160 years as a meeting place, forum for ideas, and a vital bridge between creators and supporters of art. Past luminaries include American masters Thomas Eakins and Thomas Anshutz. The club hosts regular exhibitions, maintains a free gallery open to the public, and welcomes artists of all visual disciplines through its programming and membership.
