🟠🟠What to expect🟠🟠
🔸For noon, meet at the modernist Lakewood Garden Mausoleum.. inside the main entrance (@Hennepin & 36th), it's the first mausoleum after turning right.
🔸For the 2:45pm wrap-up, we will meet at the Lakewood Garden Mausoleum again.
🔸🔸The historic Lakewood Cemetery is an incredible space with beautiful buildings, landscaping, and of course, monuments.
Remember one stipulation of sketching here is that specific monument drawings are not be used for commercial purposes, as the monuments themselves are the properties of families and individuals. The mausoleums ARE open, and are not only equipped with restrooms, but are extraordinary spaces themselves, with fully furnished reception areas.🔸🔸
🔸Restrooms at the Garden Mausoleum are on the main floor, as are drinking fountains. The crypt is in the basement.
🔸As always, exercise respect for the spaces and other visitors.. please keep voices lowered
🔸Wear comfortable shoes, or more likely, prepare to drive about. (To walk the entire cemetery would take approx. 3 hours just by itself.)
🔸If the weather is wet, perhaps consider sketching the views from the warmth of the Garden Mausoleum or your vehicle
🔸You can park anywhere on the paved roads. If you have one, you'll want to bring a portable chair for yourself, maybe a blanket for your legs.. warm apple cider sounds good too. Sketchers tip: wear weather-appropriate layers.
***Please note: bicycles are NOT allowed in the cemetery.***
Those who live far away or can't make it that day are encouraged to visit a historic cemetery near you and share your drawings with us!

A few words from LAKEWOOD:
"Since 1871, our 250 park-like acres have served as a haven in the heart of the city, a place where we reimagine the role of a cemetery in modern life.”
