“Sketchbooks offers a glimpse into an artist’s life, which is why we want to make a publicly accessible library of sketchbooks that people can browse, peruse, and check out. We think that this sketchbook collection has the potential to open a new line of communication between the artist and the viewer, since the experience of making and viewing are both so personal. Anyone can sign up to receive a sketchbook. Before joining our permanent collection, sketchbooks will be exhibited at select galleries across the US.”

“I love art,” says actress Sarah Jessica Parker, best known for playing Carrie in the long-running TV series Sex and the City. “I know virtually nothing about it; I’m an enthusiast. But it can be an intimidating world. People think of it as rarefied, but if you look at anybody’s home there is art” of some kind.
Parker has been making headlines lately not for Sex and the City-related drama but rather for The Untitled Art Project, a Project Runway-style reality show that Parker’s production company, Pretty Matches, is creating for Bravo in collaboration with Magical Elves, the firm responsible for Project Runway and Top Chef.”
