The Syracuse Urban Sketchers, a group of local artists who sketch the beautiful and varied landscapes of central New York, will be showcasing a number of their Erie Canal inspired images.

This project showcases the diverse ways in which the Erie Canal radically impacted how people in New York state and beyond interacted with the most basic building blocks of human life, food and drink. Through a major exhibition, public programs, historic preservation, and innovative community partnerships, the Erie Canal Museum will highlight the many ways in which the histories of the Erie Canal and foodways have intersected over the last two centuries and will continue to interact in the future.

The public is invited to view live drawing sessions with area artist RC Oster at the 4 Elements Satellite Gallery at 131 Genesee Street, downtown Utica.
