The Big Draw

Ards Arts Centre, Frances Street/High Street, Conway Square, Newtownards, County Down, BT20 4TF

About

Join in The Big Draw at Ards Arts Centre and be part of the world's biggest community of drawing enthusiasts!

The 2023 theme for The Big Draw Festival 'Drawing With Senses' changes the focus from external to internal, exploring the way we personally process the world and internalise our experiences through our senses.

Come and join our creative team at Ards Arts Centre where we will take some time exploring our 5 basic senses: Touch, Sight, Sound, Taste and Smell and creatively experiment with these and those you are less familiar with to transpose your experiences into creative work and drawings.

This will be a fun, accessible and positive creative experience suitable for all ages!

This is a free drop-in event but space may be limited.
