The Big Draw

The month-long, annual festival designed to provide opportunities for people of all ages to discover, or return to, the pleasure of drawing features hundreds of events, many of which are free to attend at venues countrywide. This year's theme is 'It's Our World', with events designed to encourage participants to consider the environment and its sustainability, including reportage sketching workshops, 3D 'drawings' of the city and exploring science through art. The festival kicks off with a party at the Museum of Childhood featuring Jacqueline Wilson, and other London venues hosting events include Rich Mix, The Royal Mews, Kenwood House and Greenwich Theatre.
