NYC Drawings Inspired by Art Within Reach

CMA visitors have been sketching their own scenes of New York City inspired by the Art Within Reach exhibition. These creative drawings range from the Empire State Building to a polar bear! Visitors were also asked the essential question: “Why do you think art should be for everyone?” Click here to check out their inspired artwork!

We will periodically be sharing these drawing cards as they come in, so make sure to create your own when you visit the museum!
