The Campaign for Drawing has one aim: to get everyone drawing!
Why? Drawing helps us to think, invent and communicate – regardless of age and ability.
The Campaign took its initial inspiration from the visionary Victorian artist and writer, John Ruskin.
The Big Draw
Every October more than 1,500 venues, from village halls and nursery schools to national museums and castles, take part in the Campaign's annual flagship event The Big Draw. This month-long season spans art, science, design and the environment. It connects generations and communities.
Big Draw events show that drawing can be an enjoyable public activity, as well as a private passion. Find out how to join an event.
London Highlight Event
Every year the Campaign organises a Big Draw highlight event in London. This year's is called Make your Mark on the Future: From London Bridge to Tower Bridge and will take place on 22 and 23 October. We will be updating the Big Draw Highlight page as and when activities are confirmed, so keep checking it for new info.

Professional development
Power Drawing is the Campaign’s year-round professional development programme, for teachers, other educators, artists and those interested in developing drawing in schools and cultural and community venues.
Power Drawing publications show how drawing supports formal and informal learning.
Power Drawing offers a range of courses to help you make the most of drawing in the classroom, in museums and galleries, and in your community.
