About The Big Draw

Come along to The Big Draw Swindon Style and you’ll be taking part in one of 1,500 drawing events taking place across the country!

The Big Draw is a series of events taking place during October to encourage anybody and everybody to draw as part of the Campaign for Drawing! The Campaign is supported by renowned illustrators Quentin Blake and Gerald Scarfe, architect Norman Foster and artist David Hockney..

The Campaign for Drawing aims to get everyone drawing!

Drawing helps us think, invent and communicate. It shapes the appearance of our homes, clothes, transport, cities and much else. Drawing is a tool for observation and knowledge – the Campaign promotes it as a valuable skill for life.
