Sketching Draws a Crowd at Belfast Print Workshop!

Since the turn of the millennium The Campaign For Drawing has been an annual event throughout the UK. Every October, more than 1000 venues, from village halls and nursery schools to national museums and castles, take part in the Campaign's flagship event, The Big Draw. The Campaign has created a new regard for the value of drawing to help people see, think, invent and take action. The Campaign For Drawing explores the therapeutic values of this underrated art form and encourages those who think they cant draw to have a go. It connects generations and communities, showing that drawing can be an enjoyable public activity as well as a private passion. In collaboration with this National Event Belfast Print Workshop will be exhibiting a show exploring the many facets of drawing. BPW have a considerable amount of talented artists as members and they have each been asked to showcase a print along side their preliminary sketches allowing the viewer to gain a greater insight into how these gifted printmakers create such emotive artworks.
