Arlington does The Big Draw

31st Oct
7-9pm
Arlington Village Hall.
FREE event. Pop in anytime.

As part of the international event, The Big Draw, Arlington Arts Group are opening the doors to anyone who wants to draw or who thinks they can't draw! We'll provide materials and inspiration.
Open to all ages and abilities (under 16's to be accompanied by an adult please)

The 2013 Big Draw runs from 1 October to 3 November in fifteen countries, with more than 200,000 people expected to take part. Hundreds of new and enjoyable drawing activities connect people of all ages with museums, outdoor spaces, artists - and each other. These events are for those who love to draw, and those who think they can't.

Since its launch in 2000, The Big Draw has successfully supported the Campaign for Drawing’s aims by encouraging everyone to draw. Big Draw events highlight the power of drawing to help people see, think, invent and take action. The Campaign for Drawing has one aim: to get everyone drawing! Drawing helps us to understand the world, think, feel, shape and communicate ideas. It is fun, accessible and invaluable - in education and everyday life.(http://www.campaignfordrawing.org/bigdraw/)

ARTISTS: We'd like you to come along and help inspire people to get drawing. Please get in touch if you can help.
