C0-sponsored by the Department of Art and Design, United Health Services, Broome OB/GYN and the Binghamton University Fleishman Career Center, the Drawing Marathon offers Binghamton University students, alumni and community artists (18 and over) a unique opportunity to compete for 24 hours to produce a finished figure drawing in the museum. It is a chance to discover one’s artistic second wind, when powerful creative energy is released at the very time physical energy diminishes. The second wind reinvigorates both mind and body and can result in a rewarding, even spectacular artistic creation.
