Announcement: Pratt's 20th Annual Draw-A-Thon to be Held April 11

Pratt Institute will hold its 20th annual Draw-a-thon on Friday,
April 11, 2008 from 7 PM until 7 AM in Main Building, 4th Floor at 200
Willoughby Avenue between Classon Avenue and Hall Street in Brooklyn.
Admission is $10.00 in advance and $15.00 at the door. Pizza, fruit,
coffee, and refreshments at will be served at midnight and throughout the
event.

This marks the 20th year that Pratt has hosted the 12-hour of
figure-drawing marathon. The Pratt Draw-a-thon, hosted by the Foundation
Art Department, has become a tradition at Pratt and throughout the New
York art community.

Eighteen models circulate throughout the drawing studios, including one
devoted to costume modeling. Specific rooms are dedicated to poses
ranging from the energy and frenzy of fast action poses, to sessions of
five minutes, twenty minutes, and one-hour duration. There is also the
opportunity to work from extended poses of three and six hours.

One of the unique aspects of this event is the opportunity it provides
both students and art professionals to work from groups of models posing
together. Each studio will have at least two models at any given time.
The marathon culminates in a grand finale in which all of the models pose
together in continuous slow motion on the same model stand to the
accompaniment of live African drum music.

Pratt will also be offering prizes that are generously donated by area
art stores and will be awarded at the end of the Draw-a-thon.

For general inquiries and requests for reservations call, 718-636-3617.
Photography is not permitted.
