ABOUT THE EVENT
The Morgan Conservatory has been busily renovating our papermaking studios this spring (thanks to the generous support of the Cleveland Foundation and Windgate Foundation), and we’re putting the new space to the ultimate test. 24 Papermaking Marathoners (8 teams of 3 papermakers each) will join us on July 12th & 13th for 24 hours to produce paper during a 3-hour shift & help raise money for the Morgan this summer!
You're invited to the Marathon Pre-Game Party, kicking off Friday July 12th at 4:30pm with food, drinks, and music. We need cheerers, hand-clappers, cow bell ringers, and sideline coaches to motivate our teams! The party takes a pause at 11pm, but papermaking continues all the way through the night until 5:00pm on Saturday. Join us at the Finish Line Awards Party the next day on Saturday, July 13th at 5pm to help us close out the event as we hand out trophies, take team photos and celebrate!
WHAT WILL WE DO
WITH ALL THIS PAPER?
The sheets made during our Marathon will go to designers and artists participating in the Fall Paper Fashion Show, "Dress to IMPRESS" — a night of exotic and wild paper fashions and wearable art.
SAVE THE DATE for Saturday October 5th!
