A giant roll of paper will be reeled out at Ayscoughfee Hall Museum for visitors to join in some creative fun as part of the Big Draw which takes place on Saturday 8th October.
Everyone is urged to grab a felt tip pen to add a quick sketch or a mini masterpiece which will then be displayed in the upstairs of the historic building.
The Big Draw has been run every October since 2000 and aims to encourage everyone to get a little arty by expressing themselves. Each year the event has a different theme and this time round it’s the Drawing Age.
Freelance artist Maria Maidment will provide a helping hand to those wanting to take part while nationwide, thousands are expected to join in.
At Ayscoughfee, which is managed by South Holland District Council, organisers would like people to draw their favourite memory, an event from history, or maybe create an idea of what things may look like in the future, such as cars or houses.
Councillor Nick Worth, Portfolio Holder for Arts Development, said: “You don’t have to be a Picasso or Salvador Dali; if you have a creative mind just put your art into it. It should be great fun.”
The session is open between 11am and 3pm and is aimed at all ages and abilities so everyone can create something that will form a long wall of art. For more information visit www.thebigdraw.org.
