ABOUT

Tuesday, September 23, 2025 | 9am-5pm

Summer Circle, outside Kresge Art Center | 600 Auditorium Rd. East Lansing, MI

The annual Drawing Marathon, hosted by MSU’s Department of Art, Art History, and Design, returns this year to the Summer Circle Theatre Courtyard, located in front of the Kresge Art Center, on Tuesday, Sept. 23, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In the event of rain, the Drawing Marathon will move inside the Kresge Art Center.

The public is invited to this non-stop, eight-hour drawing event, which will feature several drawing-themed activities, including guided and collaborative drawing from life and imagination. Supplies will be provided for free, though participants can also bring their favorite materials to work with. The only requirement is to have fun and get creative! See you there!
