  • It is the founding and driving force behind The Big Draw Festival – the world’s biggest celebration of drawing
  • It supports professional and emerging artists through its national contemporary art prize, The John Ruskin Prize and exhibition
  • Through events, awards, and competitions, it creates platforms for anyone who wants to draw, no matter age, background or experience

The Role:
