The Big Draw Festival 2026
The Big Draw Festival is held worldwide every year to celebrate the universal language of drawing. Join in a range of fun, creative drawing activities for all ages - absolutely no experience necessary!
This year's event is held in partnership with Studio Maverik, a community-focused and inclusive pop-up art studio. Celebrate drawing as process and not as product with this year's Big Draw theme, Make a Mark. Through a series of relaxed, experimental, and exciting drawing activations - explore the expressive power of mark-making to connect with ourselves and the world around us.
The Big Draw: Make a Mark champions drawing as a vital learning process that is open and accessible to all. Come draw, experiment, and kick-start your creativity among fellow drawing enthusiasts!
