6th Annual DRAW-A-THON

6th Annual DRAW-A-THON
Saturday, August 1, 2026

The DRAW, the arts education program of the Midtown Kingston Arts District (MKAD), hosts the 6th Annual DRAW-A-THON — a 12-hour drawing extravaganza for all ages. Inspired by the 24-hour event started in 2008 by Antenna in New Orleans, visitors can come and go throughout the day, filling every surface in The DRAW's studio with drawings.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just picking up a pencil, our teaching artists and Youth Workforce leaders create engaging drawing experiences for all ages, abilities, and skill levels.

This year’s DRAW-A-THON rides into town with a Rodeo theme. Activities include:
- A spin on the creativity wheel
- Cowboy-inspired drawing challenges
- Larger-than-life collaborative murals
- Unexpected drawing tools
- Playful surprises

No pre-registration is needed. All materials are provided, and the first 100 visitors will receive a special emergency drawing kit.

So grab your boots, bring your imagination, and join us for the most creative rodeo in town!
