Bareathon: Life drawing marathon for Cancer Research

As part of our Summer Breeze Festival, Craven Arts will be hosting a unique and inspiring event aimed at raising funds for Yorkshire Cancer Research: The Bareathon Life Drawing Marathon. This is our second year of holding this marathon instigated by the life model John Tunney.

Scheduled for Saturday 20th July 2024, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, this 6-hour artistic endeavour, part of the Craven Arts Summer Breeze Festival, will bring together artists of all skill levels in a creative effort to support a cause that touches many lives.
The day-long session is open to anyone over the age of 16, all you need to bring is a drawing pad and pencil. Easels, tables and boards are provided. Participants will be asked to donate on a “Pay as you think” basis. All proceeds from the event will be donated to Yorkshire Cancer Research.

Participants will have the opportunity to draw from the live model in a range of poses, and throughout the day different models will attend including Sue Vickerman, who will be with us for a couple of hours around midday.

The class is untutored. Artists of any skill level can drop in and spend as much time drawing as liked. This is a friendly event where artists can meet and share the experience.

The Life Drawing Marathon offers a meaningful way for artists to contribute their talents to the fight against cancer. All proceeds from the event will be donated to Yorkshire Cancer Research.
