The DRAW-A-THON is back in Kingston this Saturday, August 2nd from 10 am — 10 pm! Just like in previous years, the DRAW space at 22 Iwo Jima Lane will be available to draw all over, from the walls to the floor. This time, you can expect some cosmic chaos as we’ve embraced a space theme with retro-futuristic flair. MKAD’s Youth Workforce is hard at work preparing the event and crafting every unique prop and decoration.

Every year, we construct a tall “machine” that can produce a drawing at the press of a button called the DRAW-A-TRON! The DRAW-A-THON’s leading manager, Maizy Milliken, is creating the DRAW-A-TRON in line with the theming of the event. Here’s what she had to say about it:

“My inspiration this year came from a lot of 1960s retro-perspective future kinds of things. I was looking at the robot from Lost in Space and Conky from Peewee’s Playhouse, they were my two biggest inspirations this years. I’m playing with all those fun shapes, and that’s where this all came from.”

We hope you’ll come join us for the DRAW-A-THON and see the final product of Maizy’s DRAW-A-TRON! Below are images of the machine in-progress.
