SUMMARY:AIA Central PA Architecture Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:AIA Pennsylvania Announces Statewide Architecture Week Initiative for K-5 Students—–Bringing Design Thinking to Every Corner of the Commonwealth\nAIA Pennsylvania is thrilled to announce a new statewide initiative for Architecture Week 2026 (April 12-18) designed to bring architectural inspiration and design thinking directly to children across all 67 counties of Pennsylvania. \nOur goal is to foster creativity and introduce the power of design to the next generation in a fun\, accessible way. \nStories and Design\nIn partnership with the Pennsylvania Library Association and Pennsylvania’s 67 county library systems\, volunteer architects from AIA Pennsylvania will host interactive\, hands-on sessions for K-5 students. \n\n\n\nEach engaging storyhour will combine literacy and design thinking: \n\nArchitecture-Themed Reading: Children will enjoy a reading of a specially selected architecture-themed children’s book\, Iggy Peck\, Architect. A copy of the book will be provided to each participating library system for their permanent collection.\nGuided Design Activity: Following the story\, students will participate in a guided design activity\, designing different built environments for specific animals and their communities.\n\nReaching Every County\nThis initiative aims to involve approximately 1\,300 students statewide\, with sessions planned for every county library system. By leveraging the reach of our partners at the Pennsylvania Library Association\, we are ensuring that children in all corners of the state have the opportunity to participate in this enriching program. \nGet Involved\nRegister to host an architect-led story hour and activity at your nearest county library system. \nSponsor the purchase of additional copies of Iggy Peck\, Architect for distribution to Pennsylvania libraries. \nEncourage teachers and librarians you know to lead architecture themed lessons and events. \nOther Ways to Participate in Architecture Week\nArchitecture Week is a nationwide celebration recognizing the power of good design\, with a goal of inspiring hopeful architecture and design professionals and K-12 students.  AIA National provides several opportunities for engaging with students and sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm for the profession. \nDownload the Architecture Week\, Animal Dice activity to play at home or share. \nRegister for a virtual read-aloud session with children’s architecture book authors. \nGet involved in Architecture Week by sharing social media posts\, contributing to a wish list\, inviting students to your firm\, sending a letter to your local schools or libraries\, or actively engaging with students throughout the week.

SUMMARY:South Central Sketch Up April
DESCRIPTION:Let’s go!\nCome out for our September Sketch Crawl!\n\nWHEN:\nSaturday\, April 18\, 2026\nWHERE: \nWe’ll meet in front of the Gettysburg Hotel | 1 Lincoln Square\, Gettysburg\, PA  17325 \nTIME:\nSketch Crawl 11:00 AM-1:00  PM\nSketch Throwdown 1-2 PM\, location to be determined. \nInvite a friend\, see you there! \n\nINVITE A FRIEND(S)\, SEE YOU THERE! \nMARK YOUR CALENDARS: UPCOMING SKETCH MEETUPS: \nSaturday\, May 16\, 11am – 1pm | Location TBD\nSaturday\, June 20\, 11am – 1pm | Location TBD \nGroup Contact: James Hamrick – Architect \n\n\nPO Box 20638\nYork\, PA 17402\n\n717/891.2681\njim@hamrickarchitect.com\n\nPlease visit the group’s site on Facebook (South Central PA Urban Sketchers) for more info about the group\, announcements\, and photos. Invite a friend and Hope to see you Saturday! \n_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________\nThe main focus of an urban sketchers chapter is for everyone to meet up in a city or town…go out…and…sketch! These gatherings are called “Sketch Crawls.” We would rotate through different regional cities and small towns\, at this point maybe once a month. These would typically be held on Saturdays or Sundays. We would meet on a designated day at a designated time at a designated place. Then everyone would scatter to sketch for about 2 hours\, say 11 AM-1 PM. \nWe would then gather at a local craft brewery\, grab drinks and snacks\, and have a “Throwdown.” The Throwdown is where everyone lays out their sketches side by side…everyone walks around and looks at all the sketches…hangs out and talks sketching. Then rinse…repeat…next month! \n A few very important items: \n\nYou do not need to be a polished trained artist to participate. I expect from beginners to veterans to participate. You just have to enjoy sketching!\nSketches do not need to be a finished drawing\, ready for framing. These are sketches! Some people may spend two hours on a single sketch. Others may do two or three sketches in the allotted time.\nYou can use ANYTHING to produce your sketches…watercolor\, pen and ink\, pencil\, pastel\, dip pens\, twigs and ink\, markers\, and on and on.\nThe Throwdowns and discussion and camaraderie at the end are TOTALLY NONJUDGEMENTAL…and fun! Any and all comments will be constructive. I have never been involved with a group more accepting and helpful and welcoming than urban sketchers. Do NOT worry about being bad\, being judged\, or not being good enough.
