Drawing Marathon

We’re proud to present a 24-Hour Life Drawing Marathon to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

Life Drawing Marathon to benefit Relay for Life

Beginning at Noon on Saturday, March 6th, artists will be drawing from live models for 24 hours at Gallery by the Bay in Stanwood. The marathon is divided into eight, 3-hour sessions hosted by various local artists.

Instead of running or walking laps, the artists in this marathon are DRAWING for cancer research!

Please sponsor an artist today and help us fight cancer by making a donation to the American Cancer society. It’s easy to DONATE ONLINE. Do it now, before you forget!

Artist Registration

Artists: Join us in this fun and unique drawing event to fight cancer! You can participate in as many sessions as you like, or go for gold and draw for the entire 24 hours.

We’ll have special themes and events throughout the marathon:

  • Door prizes througout the event and a special prize for the artist who draws for the most hours.
  • On-site massage provided from 6 pm to midnight by Joshua Spangenberg of Spa at the Cottage … 10 minute massage for $10!
  • Pizza from 6 pm to 9 pm
  • French toast breakfast at the 6 am session

The registration fee is $25 and covers as many sessions as you would like to attend. Student rate is $15.

We are requesting that each participating artist raise $100 for the American Cancer Society. Ask friends, family, and co-workers to support your participation in the marathon by donating here.
