On April 26, 2014, we made a variety of art at more than a dozen different artist-led stations during the ten-hour day. Art-a-thoners had a great time making art to live music by The Mystic Trubudoors, William Klingelhoffer, the Bruno Pelletier-Bacquaert Trio, Patrick O’Malley with Sydney V.B., Jeske D. and Trey Houston. Families, couples and individual artists of all ages practiced drawing, painting and collage, printmaking, animation, typing, sewing, duct-tape wallet-making, character-making, wood-carving and more. Big thanks to satellite ArtSeed artist Luned Palmer, who organized a simultaneous Art-a-thon in New York. Heartfelt thanks to Matt Boris, ArtSeed’s board secretary, who takes the prize as largest Art-a-thon donor whose gift and pledge fed the race’s competitive spirit! A special shout out to the top ten fundraisers this year: Josefa Vaughan (1st place), Marissa Kunz (2nd place & 1st place for total number of sponsors), Trey Houston (3rd place), Luned Palmer (4th place), Sydney V.B. (5rd place & youth winner), Jade K. (6th place and 2nd place for youth), Caroline Liddell (7th place), Christine L. (8th place & 3rd place for youth), Todd Standish (9th place), and Dina K. who won 4th place for youth and tied Joseph Aponte for 10th place. Please visit ArtSeed’s website to get further updates about the outcome of this important event. Big thanks to in-kind donors, especially the Inn at the Presidio for the grand prize: a special night for two won by Marissa Kunz! The Art-a-thon raised $9,000. We are grateful to everyone involved.

Meanwhile, hope to see you at the exhibitions!
