TheCartoonGuy: Sketch Jam

We'll be at the market from noon to 3:30pm, then off to the Pint Pub @ 277 Front St.

What is Sketch Jam?

It’s an in-person drawing event, consisting of a character harvest during the afternoon and meet up at a pub at the end of the day. The Jammy challenge usually takes place after 6pm. Jam’s take place every January, at the start of the semester. A great way to start to the Winter semester!

Why we Jam?

Sketch Jam is a great opportunity to draw with peers, professors, alumni and other animation and illustration professionals for the day, and hang out for the evening in a casual setting. If you're an animation or Illustration student starting in January, it's a perfect opportunity to hang out with new friends, create some history - Not to mention the networking opportunity it presents.

Past locations have included

• Kensignton Market/Chinatown

• The Toronto Eaton Centre via the P.A.T.H System

• St. Lawrence Market

Sometimes we just ride the subway and harvest – you get the idea.

The “Jammy” Challenge

Each Sketch Jam, the current Jammy winner presents a challenge and judges the results, then awards the Jammy to the individual that best rises to their challenge.

The winner receives the much-coveted Jammy award!

It is now that individuals responsibility to continue the tradition dating back to 2004, and deliver a challenge of their own at the next Jam.

Sketch Jam is all about having some fun drawing and hanging out with friends and making new ones both at Seneca and in the industry we are all a part of.

You should come out and play one of these days!

The next Jam is on May 2nd, 2023!..

I'm always excited to see everyone out for this yearly tradition! Now it's back!!

Usually, in an effort to be more inclusive of the incoming January AFD, ANI and ILS students in order that they may ALL enjoy the community, fun and benefits connected with Sketch Jam. This time, we're doing it a little different. Teaming up with Seneca Coalesce, we plan to "after-Jam with all of FCAD/ SCAA at Seneca Coalesce!!!

The Jam is usually held in the new year in order to better ensure that ALL current/ new students are well settled in and EVERYONE can fully participate. What a great way to start the new year, all together!!

THE JAMMY!
The much coveted Jammy award !..

PLEASE NOTE:

** In order to ensure full commitment from each Jammy winner to fully participate in, and continue this long standing tradition, only current Seneca students or Seneca Alumni may be awarded The Jammy.
