I don't know about you, but I can't let go of my sketchbooks. I've got a few from elementary school and more recent years lying around, but my most prized one is that which I shared with a friend in eighth grade. Essentially an extended note passed to each other between classes, it contains cartoons of beloved and despised teachers, a "Most Overrated Things of All Time" list and other artifacts of teenage angst.
That collaborative, notebook-loving vibe also seems to define The Sketchbook Project, a traveling exhibit that's stopping at Philly's Chris' Jazz Café for one night only. Thought up by the Art House Gallery in Atlanta, Ga., it invited artists from across the country to fill up their notebooks with doodles, thoughts and words. Some people opted to share their Moleskines with fellow artists (which is the route I would have taken), while others kept their drawings to themselves. Either way, many of the pieces are reminiscent of middle school — in the best way possible — and the dreamy, imaginative and bored way it makes you feel. My favorite part of the exhibit is the fact that you get to actually pick up the art with your hands and examine it up-close. You surely can't do that at the PMA.
Wed., March 4, 5-7 p.m., Chris' Jazz Café, 1421 Sansom St., 215-568-3131, arthousecoop.com/sketchbookproject.
