The Big Draw is an annual, month-long season of drawing activities running from 1-31 October. Event organisers use drawing, painting and a multitude of other media to connect visitors with museum and gallery collections, urban and rural spaces – and the wider community - in new and enjoyable ways. Big Draws can be weird, wild or wonderful, but they all have one thing in common: they aim to get everyone drawing!
During October 2009, over 1300 Big Draws took place across the UK and internationally. From Budapest to Bristol and Melbourne to Margate people of all ages came together in galleries, museums, art clubs, heritage sites, parks, libraries, shopping centres and schools to participate in exciting drawing activities. To learn more about the types of events that took place or to share your experience, visit our Big Draw and International case study pages.
Each year Drawing Inspiration Awards reward the organisers of the most inspiring and engaging Big Draws.
