BIG DRAW GALLERY

This is a chance to see what The Big Draw is all about. The annual Big Draw season spans the whole of October and takes place throughout the UK, in galleries, museums, science centres, heritage and environmental sites, libraries, archives, community and shopping centres, colleges, nurseries, schools and art clubs. Most events are free and accessible to people of all ages and abilities. From July 2008 you will be able to search our on-line listings for the nearest Draw events. In the meantime you can view images of previous Big Draw events from each year since the Campaign for Drawing was launched in 2000. Just use the links on the left for each year.

National Launches – every year we make a big splash with our national launch event, inviting everyone to join us and to pick up a pencil – and thousands do! This year's free launch will take place at Wellcome Collection and University College London, 26-28 September.
