International drawing festival comes to Cayman

(NGCI): October is Big Draw month in over 20 countries, with 280,000 people expected to join in over 1000 events. The Big Draw offers thousands of enjoyable, and mostly free, drawing activities connecting people of all ages with museums, galleries, outdoor spaces, artists, designers, illustrators and each other. This year Big Draw events at the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands (NGCI) will highlight the power of drawing through the theme It’s Our World. The gallery will explore the world of drawing through a programme of activities which includes a student art exhibition, documentary film screenings, an interactive drawing lab, a family fun day, free drawing workshops for all ages, and drawing courses in Cayman Brac.

NGCI Communications and Public Engagement Manager, Kaitlyn Elphinstone, said: “This is the third year the National Gallery has hosted Big Draw festival events. The new National Gallery facilities have allowed us to offer a diverse range of engaging events and activities throughout the year, The Big Draw being one of them.”
