The Big Draw is a pioneering visual literacy charity, founded in 2000, dedicated to raising the profile of drawing as a tool for wellbeing, thought, creativity, social and cultural engagement.
The charity supports professional and emerging artists through its national contemporary art prize, The John Ruskin Prize and exhibition, and through events, awards, and competitions, creating platforms for each and everyone who wants to draw.
They believe drawing is an essential human skill important in all walks of life, and our work has won support from leading practitioners within the arts, sciences and education.
