Come and join artists Mandy Keating or Tracey Meek at a library drawing workshop this half term. Enjoy discovering your inner artist in these fun family workshops!

The Big Draw 2023 Festival theme #DrawingwithSenses explores the way we personally process the world and our experiences through our senses: Touch, Sight, Sound, Taste and Smell.

About the project

This work is part of a wider national project working with renowned portrait photographer, Alistair Morrison. Alistair has created Time to Connect, photographing people and places around the UK and Nottinghamshire is the starting point for this journey! 

Inspire have joined forces with the Miner2Major Landscape Partnership Scheme to help leave a legacy of artworks in key locations across Sherwood Forest.

Inspire are delighted to be working with visual artists Mandy Keating, Tracey Meek and sculptor Chris Campbell who will work with groups across the chosen venues to create the artworks and a touring library exhibition.

The Big Draw 2023: Time to Connect will help join 6 nature and heritage sites across the county in the form of a brand-new art trail!
