Sketch the Junction Competition 2024

Sketch the Junction is an annual en plein air sketching competition in the Junction neighbourhood in Toronto. The competition took place on Saturday September 7 this year and we welcomed sketchers who spent the afternoon outside creating their artworks. Sketches needed to be started and completed during the time frame and then submitted for jurying by Isabel Santos.
