It was so popular last year, we had to do
it again! Draw-mania! takes to the
waters with a 2-hour
art sail aboard the Schooner Pioneer! Join us for a fun and relaxing
sail around the tip of Manhattan on one of the most scenic and historic boats
afloat, with three inspiring figure models on deck!! How much fun will that be?
Bring your own art materials and refreshments of your choice, and expect to
have a great time!
Made possible with the cooperation of Draw-Mania! and The
Art Students League of New York.
South Street Seaport Museum's Schooner
PIONEER and Draw-Mania!, the long-running downtown draw-a-thon and variety
show, will be offering artists, art students, and others, the opportunity to
sketch during a two-hour Pioneer sail.

Three live art models, the harbor, shoreline, other boats, Pioneer, and the

paper towels, a place to keep work till ashore, and once ashore, fixative for

See the sights of New York Harbor from the decks of the historic 130-year-old
schooner PIONEER. The vessel, first launched in 1885, was built as an
iron-hulled sloop to carry cargo along the Delaware River and was even featured
in the pilot of Boardwalk Empire. Bring a picnic lunch, afternoon snack or favorite
beverage as you enjoy sketching and your sail!
