The Sketch Club of Bhubaneswar is a vibrant, open community of artists, designers, students, and art enthusiasts who come together to celebrate the joy of sketching. Initiated by Kalanirvana International Art Center, the club is a platform for creative exchange, observation, and artistic growth through regular sketch meetups across the city.
Rooted in the philosophy of learning by doing, the club encourages participants to explore their surroundings—be it heritage sites, bustling streets, local markets, or quiet natural spaces—and translate real-life experiences into expressive sketches.
What We Do
Weekly and monthly on-location sketching sessions
Themed sketch walks across culturally rich areas of Bhubaneswar

Artist-led demonstrations and peer learning
Open discussions on techniques, materials, and styles
