Chinatown sketchbook throwdown — Chinese Arch, Nelson Street, Liverpool, May 2023 · Artwork © the individual artists.

On Monday 22 May 2023, our meetup around the Chinese Arch took in the gateway, nearby buildings, trees and street details. We brought the drawings together on the paving for a throwdown.

The arch on Nelson Street was brought from Shanghai in sections and erected in January 2000, marking the relationship between the two cities.
