Dover’s Big Draw 2020

What Next?

 

This years  Big Draw Festival theme was ‘A Climate of Change’ and was held online on instagram @dover_bigdraw on October 26th 2020.

Dover Big Local Art 31, in partnership with DAD, has led Dover’s Big Draw since 2013, as a public, family friendly event that responds to an annual theme set by The Big Draw Festival. This year it was funded by the Dover Big Local and Arts Council England as part of Dover Arts Developments What Next? project

The Big Green Draw was eager to help showcase mindsets and actions that proactively support positive symbiosis between people and the Earth’. The Dover Big draw 2020 showed videos from artists with ways to encourage the idea that everyone would have everything they needed to participate with no need to go out and buy something more. There were drawings using chocolate, brushes made out of twigs, monoprints using shoe polish, sphere’s made with a pencil, edible animations  …..

Frejya Matthews-Crow  made a wonderful zine and video from the drawings and videos that Anna-Marya Tompa, Drew Burrett, Steph Wallace, Mike Tedder, Petra Matthews-Crow, Florence Husen, Alison Trelfer, Bev Williams, Helen Lindon, Katharine Beaugié, Louisa Love, Chris Burke, Alma Tischlerwood, Clare Smith, Joanna Jones, John Horne, Poppy Wallace, Story Bundy, Alfie & Olie, Euphemia McTavish, Sue Riley and herself submitted.
