Masterminded by France (Nantes)-based illustrator/designer, Gérald Guerlais and White Plains (NY)-based Japanese painter, Daisuke Tsutsumi, Sketchtravel involves more than 50 artists worldwide who will one-by-one, during the period of one year, share the possession of a sketchbook. This sketchbook will travel the globe into the hands of each artist so they can add a creative work to one page of the sketchbook. The book cannot be mailed. It must be handed off in-person from artist to artist.

The sketchbook is meant to inspire each artist as it is received, which could add to the continuity of the work as a whole. In any case, it should be a wonderful final art piece incorporating the ideas of creativity, artistic skills/abilities and friendship.

When the sketchbook is completed, it will be exhibited at the Arludik Gallery in Paris, then eventually sold at auction for charity selected by the artists.

There’s a map online where you can track where the sketchbook is located here: Where’s the sketchbook now?
