Drawing Projects UK aims to build a community through drawing and the creative arts more widely. We create opportunities for people to make drawings, to explore drawing, to see drawings and to discuss drawing through a programme that promotes, explores and celebrates the role and value of drawing as an art form and as a fundamental means of communication and expression.

We present regular Drawing Sessions, Drawing Discussions, and hold Open Studios and events for the public, educational groups, museum and gallery groups to meet our resident creative practitioners.

We also work with others to deliver a range of complementary events and projects including creative writing, poetry and music and collaborate with Trowbridge Museum and Trowbridge Arts to deliver regular Explore Art in Trowbridge events throughout the year that celebrate the growing cultural offer in the county town of Wiltshire.

We deliver a range of Drawing Sessions under the Drawing Projects UK banner in our beautiful Centre for Drawing Project Space. These are led by an excellent team of artists and include sessions for participants of all ages and experience.
