SUMMARY:The Drawing Competition 2026
DESCRIPTION:All Day Drawing Marathon to Benefit The Drawing Foundation \nJoin up to 100 artists for a full day of drawing from multiple live models. Starting at 10:00 am on Saturday\, May 2nd\, artists can work in the following categories: \n\n\n\n\nFigure Drawing\nPortrait Drawing\nFashion Drawing\n\nWe believe that drawing with others of various skill levels drives us to work at our highest abilities. This marathon is designed to foster camaraderie and inspiration within the community. Artists are not required to submit their work for judging. \n\nMorning Drawing Session 10:00 am – 1:00 pm.\nLunch (not provided) 1:00 – 2:00 pm.\nAfternoon Drawing Session 2:00 – 5:00 pm.\nJudging 5:00 pm.\nWinners Announced 5:30 pm.\n\nArtists may work in dry media only\, including graphite\, charcoal\, and pastel pencils. Loose\, dry pastels are not permitted for health reasons. Artists may work up to 18 x 24″. We do not accept digital art for submission for judging. \nEntry to the space begins at 9:45am in order of arrival. Seating is strictly first come\, first served\, and seats may not be saved for artists who are not present. Each artist will be given two chairs to work with\, allowing them to place their board on the back of one chain and sit on the other. Compact easels are permitted on a case-by-case basis (space permitting). Easels may not occupy the front row of any model area. \n\nThe Judges\nTo be announced.\n\nThe Prizes\nTo be announced.\n\nImportant Information\n\nNo photography is allowed while models are posing. Photographing nude models will result in the immediate removal of attendees\, who will forfeit their ticket\, spot\, and payment and will not be allowed to submit work for judging. The rooms are expected to be quiet while the artists are working. Conversations should take place outside the drawing area. Phone calls and music on speakers are not allowed. We recommend earphones for those who wish to listen to music or for noise cancellation. \nOrganized by The Drawing Foundation in partnership with Drawing New York\, hosted by the National Arts Club. \n\n\n               \nImages:\nBanner – Giampietro Zanotti (Italian\, 1674 – 1765)\, The “Accademia Clementina” Bologna\, with a Nude Being Positioned by the Drawing Master\, the “Farnese Hercules” beyond\, 1739.
