A Charlottesville Favorite!

Our community's creatives serve up pro-bono professional design to Charlottesville Non-profits in one action packed marathon day on April 12, 2013. Taking place at CitySpace from 8am - 6pm, the event will feature teams of local designers and students working with a Non-profit to create great design products. Projects range from branding, brochures, advertisements, schematic building or space renovation drawings or conceptual site plans.

The day will conclude with the McGuffey Block Party! There will be an exhibition on Saturday at noon in City Space to show the work.

From 2008-2010, the Design Marathon generated over $95,000 worth of pro bono professional design services to benefit 32 deserving local non-profit organizations. The 2013 Marathon is a partnership with the Tom Tom Founders Festival, AIA Central Virginia and Piedmont Council for the Arts.
