The Challenge:
in 24 continuous hours, create something you didn’t think you could* with no planning or sketching beforehand.

The Details:

  • January 16-17, 10am-10am
  • The Edge Campus Ministry House, 3007 Clifton Ave
  • FREE!
  • bring your supplies and some money for take-out
  • we provide snacks, coffee, entertainment, restrooms, and encouragement
  • to observe, just show up
  • to participate, click the RSVP link above

More Details:

  • Here are the rules from Scott McCloud's 24-Hour Comic Book Marathon--you'll need to come up with your own version which is do-able but only just. You might consider using only green, orange, and brown fabrics or completing both the line drawings and their framing or choosing a style of music in which to write. No matter what, the idea is to have a finished product at 10am on Sunday.
  • We have tables and chairs and such. We also have drop-cloths if you need them. Electricity is available if you need it.
  • We will have a team of people praying for all participants throughout the event. You can talk to them if you like/need or you can happily ignore them.

* possibilities: 24-page comic book, three large art-quilts, 12 small paintings or sculptures, 6 poems, 1 or 2 short stories, completed short film, 1 written, arranged, and recorded pop song, costume for a period play, design for a better mousetrap, 12 collaborative pieces (writer and visual artist?)
