**The Big Draw, the UK’s biggest free art event, will be held for the fifth year
in October 2004, and participating organisations can win one of six £500 awards 
or packs of Berol art materials.**

The Big Draw week takes place from 13 to 20 October 2004, with a particular focus
on Saturday 16. It is run by the Campaign for Drawing to help spread the word that
drawing can aid observation, communication and invention and, above all, give pleasure.

Libraries, heritage venues, galleries, museums, science centres, shopping centres,
colleges, schools and art clubs are all encouraged to host drawing sessions for 
all ages. If you register your event you will “get guaranteed coverage in The Independent”.
