The Big Draw
About
The RISD Museum's annual Big Draw is back! Join us for a vibrant celebration of drawing, inspired by the internationally acclaimed campaign that celebrates drawing in its many forms through hands-on drawing for all. Bring your imagination and come make your mark! Free, all welcome.
