Registration for 2008 is now open!
For the month of October venues, from village halls to museums and galleries, all around the country, will be hosting innovative drawing events to encourage people to get in to drawing for people of all ages. Remember it doesn't need to cost that much to run an event. Please look at the website www.campaignfordrawing.org/bigdraw for more information about ideas for events and workshops, and how to register your event and marketing material. Your event will be submitted to their website to help advertise it and you can register to be put in to the inspirational awards competition.

Remember drawing can also be a good way for people to learn about their heritage or architecture as well as their drawing skills
If you need help with sourcing artists or want partners for the project then please contact jenny.davis@wychavon.gov.uk.

See the summer in the Corinium Museum’s new Roman Garden

Visitors can come and relax in a setting similar to ancient Italy this summer thanks to a makeover of the Corinium Museum’s Roman Garden.
A whole host of plants and shrubbery has been donated by local garden centre Dobbies to the Cotswold District Council-owned museum in Cirencester, to create a stunning Roman-style centrepiece at the Park Street venue.
Following the Museum’s £6 million refurbishment in 2004 the garden needed a major redesign, and the area has now been replanted to create the impression of a Roman townhouse garden, in the style of the late first and second centuries.
