Upcoming in Pittsburgh: mad creation of art for 24 solid hours

Fun event coming up for artists, aspiring artists, and people who think they’re not artists but who are open to creativity:

The 24 Hour Creative Marathon is a two-part event, beginning with a 24-hour artistic marathon and culminating in a gallery show and sale the following day.

24 Hour Creative Marathon
Beginning Friday, September 28th, at 8pm, artists will have 24 hours to create a piece of work pertaining to the theme “Lost and Found.” Registration is FREE for marathon participation.

Please complete and send in the registration form to pre-register. Registrations will be accepted at the door, but we have a 150 registrant maximum. (Don’t be left out!)

Gallery Show
At 8pm the very next evening, the Creative Treehouse will feature these works in a gallery show, along with food, drinks and live music. All this for only $2 at the door. Artwork is available for purchase and all proceeds go towards supporting the Creative Treehouse.

Both events are open to the public. Artists of all levels — from professionals to amateurs to the curious and motivated — are invited to join us.

I’ll be there for the marathon and as much of the gallery show as I can stay awake for. Last year’s DrawMo has helped me feel bolder about drawing so I’m looking forward to taking on the challenge of the “Lost and Found” theme. (Which I voted for and thought was a super theme, but now feel rather cowed by. But which I will take on anyway.)
