Event description

Hopton Hall Gallery has partnered up with The Big Draw Festival , which is the world's largest celebration of drawing, bringing people together through creativity. Open to individuals, schools, museums, care homes, heritage sites, and community centres, it provides a platform to explore drawing in all its forms.

Celebrating experimentation and mark-making, it presents drawing as both a finished artwork and a vital process for thinking, exploring, and discovery.

Recognising drawing as a universal visual language, the exhibition invites audiences to reflect on its immediacy and expressive power, and on its ability to connect artists, viewers, and the world around them. Enjoy our drawing workshops compliment this exhibition.
Artists: Rob Chapman, Sue J Blake, Diana Green, Chris Lewis-Jones, Katie Wyke, Liz Wellby.
