On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, February 12, 13 and 14, ArtsCetera’s Cobble Hill studio will be transformed into a giant art environment for the second CRAYON-A-THON.
This extravaganza benefits our Arts Partnership with Lutheran Family Health Centers Early Childhood Centers. Now in it's second year, the Partnership provides materials, staffing and workshops to strengthen the presence of musical learning in the lives of underserved children and families in Gowanus and
Sunset Park.
The CRAYON-A-THON was conceived by ArtsCetera director Nanette De Cillis not only to raise funds, but to also create a true community event supporting the vision of arts for all children, as well as creating work for her teaching artists. It will also be a model of creative recycling.
De Cillis says, “Everyone loves to colors. Starting with 40 pounds of crayons generously donated to the event by Luann Foty, the guru of crayon recycling, it's B.Y.O.C. Bring Your Old Crayons!
The crayons we use will be melted and recycled into new, so children can love them down to nubs again. It’s a great, collective learning experience that is simple, fun and positive. It’s also a gesture towards developing more arts partnerships at a time when budget cuts are killing
early arts education for our most vulnerable families."
Crayon-A-Thon consists of 25 one-hour-long coloring time slots, including family-friendly hours, child-free coloring, late night I-Pod hours, and a Cocktail Coloring Party on Friday night for adults and parents w/o kids.
Participants can reserve their time, tickets are are available at the door. Suggested donations range from $15 per person to whatever the heart and pocketbook can give.

The company first arts partnership, with Lutheran Family Health Centers in Boerum Hill and Sunset Park, began in October and has been a rousing success.
The CRAYON-A-THON was conceived by ArtsCetera director Nanette De Cillis not only to raise funds, but to also create a true community event supporting the vision of arts for all children. It will also be a model of creative recycling.
De Cillis says, “Everyone loves to color, and every child loves the thrill of new crayons. The Crayon-A-Thon is B.Y.O.C. Bring Your Old Crayons. We’re going to save the crayons we use – and we welcome donations of crayons for the marathon – and they will be melted down and recycled into new crayons to be distributed to children who can love them down to nubs again. It’s a great way to do something collectively that is simple, fun and positive. It’s also a gesture towards developing the ABC Program to reach many, many more kids at a time when budget cuts are killing early arts education for our most vulnerable families.”
The Crayon-A-Thon will consist of 25 one-hour-long coloring time slots, including adult coloring, late night I-Pod silent hours, and lots of family-friendly hours.
