In 2023, The Big Draw Festival #DrawingwithSenses changes the focus from external to internal, exploring the way we personally process the world and internalise our experiences through our senses. This is a great year to look at the 5 basic senses: Touch, Sight, Sound, Taste and Smell and experiment with these and those you are less familiar with to transpose your experiences into creative work and drawings in 2023.
Why not join in and be part of The World’s Biggest community of drawing enthusiasts!
How will you link this to your lantern for the next day’s parade?
Be guided by an artist and our very friendly art gallery volunteers.
Book your table at the Refreshment Room Café for lunch.
