12 Hour Life Drawing Marathon

Special Event | Registration opens Monday, February 23, 2026 8:00 AM EST

Join us for an immersive 12-Hour Life Drawing Marathon designed to challenge, inspire, and energize artists of all levels.

Throughout the day, there will be three designated pose formats:
- Long poses for deep observation and sustained study
- Short poses to loosen up and capture movement and gesture
- Portrait sessions focused on expression and character

In addition to model sessions, there will be dedicated still life rooms featuring thoughtfully arranged objects and compositions for focused observational work.

Participants can create their own schedules for the day, drop in for a focused session or stay and move between formats as the marathon unfolds.
Whether you’re building a portfolio, refining your skills, or simply indulging in a full day of focused practice, this marathon offers the time and space to truly immerse yourself. 

  • Participants should bring their own supplies and may work in drawing or water-based painting media (graphite, charcoal, ink, watercolor, acrylic, gouache). No oils, solvents, spray fixatives, or toxic materials.
