Campaign For Drawing

The Big Draw 2007, a nationwide celebration of drawing, at over 1,300 events – ranging from rocket science and evolutionary biology through to Manga art and the world’s largest collage – will take place across the country throughout October.

Over 500,000 people are expected to take part. Most events are FREE.

The Big Draw is the UK’s biggest annual free celebration of visual art and is run by the Campaign for Drawing. The Campaign for Drawing’s mission is to remove the phrase ‘I can’t draw’ from everyday usage, get everyone drawing and prove that drawing is a key to understanding and knowledge.

The Big Draw, launched in 2000, has encouraged over a million people back to drawing, shown that drawing can be a social activity, and notched up two Guinness World records – for the longest drawing in the world (one kilometre) and the greatest number of people drawing simultaneously (over 7000).

Kallaway is handling the public relations for The Big Draw 2007. Press releases and images can be downloaded from this site.
