BIG DRAW little people was BACK home this summer

After a year “on tour” BIG DRAW little people was back where it belonged in the Riverside Gallery and for the first time we had a theme!

The Big River Draw linked our 300 Steps to the River project and our annual BIG DRAW Little People festival, creating a wonderful celebration of the River Medway which culminated our final exhibition.

Alongside our giant River Medway Mosaic, we created new “how-to-draw” worksheets, worked with community partners such as Medway Pride, Child Friendly Medway and MESS ROOM and held 11 workshops, all linked to the River Medway including:

  • River Sunsets
  • Riverscapes
  • Ship in a bottle
  • Changing Tides
  • Pride Rainbows
  • Barges and Boats
  • 300 Footsteps

Over 250 children aged 3 – 16 attended the workshops and 265 post-it doodles were drawn and collected over the summer of events and festivals including Sticks N Stones festival and Chatham Carnival, and added to our giant River Medway Mosaic.

Thank you so much to everyone who got involved!
