Atlanta’s Art House Co-op Gallery recently hosted an exhibition, The Sketchbook Project, where almost 3,000 participants from 45 countries were to fill a Moleskine® sketchbook along the theme “everyone we know.”

The visual interpretation of that theme, as well as visual style and media was left up to the individual artist. The exhibition was then taken to the road with tour stops in Atlanta, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, and Brooklyn.
