What is 1000 Drawings?

1000 Drawings is an art-for-charity initiative that changes lives. Throughout the year people create artworks in an A5 format. These can be doodles, sketches, painting, photographs, etching, embroidery – we’ve even had a donation in pewter, any kind of art as long as it’s A5. The art collected during the year culminates in a unique inner- city art exhibition and sale made possible by all the donations.

Proceeds from the exhibition are donated to our beneficiary partners.

Who can contribute art?

Anyone can take part to this initiative, from well-known artists, illustrators, celebrities, street and tattoo artists’ right through to primary school children and grandparents!
