Joslyn Art Museum Draws High School Students In with Fun, Educational Saturday Night of Art Instruction

Omaha, NE – Saturday, March 20, 6:00-11:30 pm.

High School Students! Experience Joslyn Art Museum like you never have before. Forget what you know about Joslyn from your field trip tours through the galleries...Draw-a-Thon is an electric night of creativity and fun.

Draw-a-Thon is a FREE event for all area high school students. This event celebrates drawing as an essential art skill. This does not mean that all artists must have great drawing ability, but it is important for artists to know how to use drawing tools and techniques to aide them in the creative process, be it in paint, clay, stone, or macaroni.

No “drawing ability” is required to be a part of Draw-a-Thon, only enthusiasm and a creative drive. Participants will move in small groups through the Museum’s galleries and unique spaces to complete a variety of drawing workshops presented by actual working artists from Omaha and the surrounding areas.

Periodically throughout the evening all Draw-a-Thon participants and artist-instructors will gather together in the Storz Fountain Court, turn up the music, and collaborate on a large scale mural drawing to be hung in the Museum’s Riley Education Gallery.

The event will end with a chance for participants to display their work while they enjoy pizza and pop and get to know the new art-minded friends made during the night’s festivities.

Draw-a-Thon is presented as a free event thanks to support from the Joslyn Art Museum Association and Dick Blick Art Materials.

Draw-a-Thon is free for high school-aged youth. Advance registration is required; call Joslyn’s studio teaching specialist at (402) 661-3839 or by clicking on the link above or below.
Draw-a-Thon is sponsored by the Joslyn Art Museum Association.
