MPLSART Sketchbook Project 2021
MPLSART Sketchbook Project 2021
An exciting collaborative art project featuring the work of 70 Twin Cities artists
The MPLSART Sketchbook Project is a unique survey of the Twin Cities visual arts community during another challenging year. Started in 2020 as a way to connect and support artists during the pandemic, the 2021 project is the second iteration bringing together a whole new set of amazing Twin Cities artists. Throughout 2021, 70 local artists contributed 120 original works to a series of five traveling sketchbooks.
Through the auction of the original sketchbooks, sales of the limited edition book, and support from some amazing sponsors, all net-proceeds from the project will be divided among the 70 participating artists. Help support the Twin Cities art community by becoming a part of this historic project.
