The Big Draw Shellharbour Free Workshops Program
Event description
The Big Draw is the World's Largest Drawing Festival, and it's coming to Shellharbour this October!
Presented by Rumpus and Shellharbour City Council
This year's theme is ‘Drawn to Life:creativity and wellbeing’, celebrating the role of mark making and drawing – in its widest possible interpretation, as a life-enhancing tool not only to help express and navigate the challenges of life around us but also as a tool for healing.
At it's heart, drawing is an easy, fun and delightful form of play. Come and play!
