As part of Drawing Inspiration, we've partnered with The Big Draw Festival 2026 to champion drawing. This year's Festival celebrates drawing as a form of playful inquiry, reflection and expression.
In 2026, The Big Draw is inviting everyone to Make a Mark, a celebration of drawing as a process, not a product.
