October 10, 2009, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Join the High in this national annual drawing event,
The Big Draw. Brought to the High by "Drawing America" to initiate drawing in the U.S., it is now celebrating its 10th anniversary in the UK. Visitors are invited to bring their own pencils and paper to discover works in our permanent collection galleries by drawing them. Drawing materials will also be available in the Museum Shop for a small fee. This event is included with admission.
The Big Draw was initiated by The Campaign for Drawing in 2000 to promote John Ruskin's belief that drawing is a key to understanding and knowledge. The mission of Drawing America is to bring
The Big Draw to the U.S. Let's get everyone drawing!
