The Big Draw 2015 takes place 1 - 31 October 2015

The Big Draw is the world's biggest drawing festival with thousands of enjoyable, and mainly free, drawing activities which connect people of all ages with museums, outdoor spaces, artists, designers, illustrators - and each other.

Draw, doodle, sketch, paint or just make marks with meaning, as we celebrate the importance of drawing and of visual literacy. 

The Big Draw is for anyone who loves to draw, as well as those who think they can't!

"We live in a verbal culture where we think words are important and drawings are merely decorative. But there are hundreds of things for which drawing is wonderfully economical and efficient. It's much easier for most of us to draw the way a deckchair works than to explain it in words." The Big Draw patron - Quentin Blake

Drawing in Education and Employment
Drawing is an essential part of a balanced education. It is also an essential skill for the Creative Economy.Drawing is not exclusive to any age or group and The Big Draw invites people of all ages, levels and abilities to take part. 

We collaborate with educators, artists and arts education agencies who work in formal/informal education to extend learning, innovation and engagement. 
We build relationships with professionals who use drawing in their daily work or practice: artists, designers, scientists, engineers and medical professionals.
