So far I have only received 3 suggestions.

2 for Cascades Park

1 for Goodwood Museum and Gardens. ("Altho we've been there before, there is a new cafe plus a lot more indoor options")

I checked with Goodwood.

Somebody rented Goodwood for a wedding in the afternoon (apparently the entire place). The clearest answer I could elicit is it's OK if we are there in the morning.

So the Goodwood option would mean moving on to a second location before noon...

Since Goodwood has not responded to my last 2 emails about us working around the wedding, we should find a different location.

3 new suggestions:

1. Dorothy Oven Park (but no inside alternative)

2. Birdsong Nature Center, (but in Georgia State...and not sure yet if we could get free admission.)

3. "Get in on one of the farm tours" (but farm tours are the week before--"so no can do")

We're getting close to the time...so any suggestions considering the basic requirements (free, Disabled accessible, inside alternative. restrooms) would be useful

Hi Sketchcrawlers,
Goodwood responded to Ann's email today.

"Sketchcrawl is welcome to use the grounds until 4pm on October 20th."

Cafe is advertised as open to the public 11-2.

So we can go there on the condition we stay away from the wedding.


Now total of 4 suggestions:

1. Dorothy Oven Park (but no inside alternative)

2. Birdsong Nature Center, (but in Georgia State...and not sure yet if we could get free admission.)

3. Goodwood Museum and Gardens

4. Cascades Park

Remember the Basic requirements: free, Disabled accessible, inside alternative. restroom

Vote for location ends Thursday Oct 11 midnight.

Mark

Hi Sketchcrawlers,

I hope you and your families (and homes) are all safe after the hurricane.
If you need a break from repairs/thinking about the storm and its effect/cleanup, sketchcrawl is a great way to relax and get some art time.

Votes all in: Overwhelming majority for Goodwood Museum and Gardens.

Goodwood responded/confirmed despite the hurricane will be open for us Saturday.

"Sketchcrawl is welcome until 4pm on October 20th."

Cafe is advertised as open to the public 11-2.

Plan to meet at the cafe to compare/photo sketches for WWSC website.

Best to drive in from the back entrance (Surgeon's drive) and park closer to the front/cafe (away from the wedding/carriage house).

So we are welcome on the condition we stay away from the wedding. The majority of wedding activities will be in the carriage house. If they are taking photos elsewhere, please be respectful. Restrooms are in the Visitors' Center (where the main office is) and in the cafe.

Thanks,
Mark

Our local Sketchcrawl group is joining Goodwood Museum and Gardens and The Sharing Tree in a Hurricane art-relief campaign.
We will create packages for families in need after our Category 4 Hurricane. :(

We encourage everyone to donate art supplies. Donations will be collected in the Visitors Center.

More details on the Goodwood website in the signature line of this post.
Thanks
