20 countries on four continents are running hundreds of Big Draw events this October. Launched in 2000, this annual initiative has grown from 180 events in the UK to over 1500 worldwide. The Campaign aims to use drawing to connect visitors with museum and gallery collections, urban and rural spaces – and the wider community – in new and enjoyable ways.

You are warmly invited to a drawing performance by Gosia Wlodarczak at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra. This is entitled DUST COVER PAINTING: The Trail by Sydney Nolan and the events will take part on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th October.

The Campaign for Drawing has one aim: to get everyone drawing! Why? Drawing helps us think, invent and communicate – regardless of age and ability. Details of the forthcoming BIG DRAW event due to take place this October can now be found on the Campaign for Drawing website. Find out how to join in an event by reading more…
