SCBWI PA West Presents: Sketchy Characters: Zoo Edition!
May 17, 2026
Pittsburgh Zoo - 7370 Baker St, Pittsburgh, PA 15206
Come hang out at the zoo with us while we sketch and chat and have a blast! Field studies are one of the best ways to keep your art skills fresh. Writers are welcome as well--swap story ideas, let the animals inspire and bring a pad to write your ideas down! We'll meet at the entrance at 10am. REGISTRATION REQUIRED! We will need to put together a text chain and head count. Registration is FREE (but normal zoo ticket fees will be charged at the gate). This event is made possible by a grant from SCBWI and the Author's Coalition of America.
