THE MONOTYPE MARATHON is a weekend of workshops, held in professional printmaking studios throughout the Bay Area, and led by accomplished monotype artists. During the workshops, artists produce a number of prints, the best of which is exhibited at the ICA. At the end of the show, the prints are auctioned. All proceeds benefit the ICA.

Participating venues include: San Jose State University, Foothill College, Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, Pacific Art League,the private studios of Karen von Felten, Barbara Gunther, Evelyn Klein and Adele Seltzer.

THE ARTIST invites a sponsor to underwrite his/her participation in the Marathon or the artist may self-sponsor. During the four hour workshop, the artist produces up to seven prints. Workshop directors choose one print for exhibition and auction. The artist retains all other prints.

THE SPONSOR donates $250 to the ICA enabling an artist to participate in the Marathon. At the end of the exhibition, sponsors participate in a silent auction of the monotypes with their $250 donation serving as their first bid on the monotype of their choice.

THE PATRON underwrites two artists for $500 and is eligible to bid on two prints at the auction. Patron sponsors are acknowledged in the gallery.

THE WORKSHOPS Each workshop is four hours long. Artists should indicate their first and second choices for workshops and times on the registration form. Monotype Marathon organizers will try to accommodate preferences, but this cannot be guaranteed. Sponsors and artists will be notified of their assigned workshop location, date and time.
