NEAC

125 anniversary of the NEAC

The first exhibition of the New English in 1886 immediately established the NEAC as a strong voice. During the entire 20th Century, in spite of waves of movements that pulled the art world in many directions, the club’s artists held to their commitment to figurative art.

Two competitions to promote the practise and development of drawing that might be of interest to students and artists. SORRY BOTH COMPETITIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.

THE BIG DRAW

Every October, the Campaign's flagship programme brings communities together in creative ways. Launched as a one-day celebration in 2000, The Big Draw is now an annual month-long festival of over one thousand events across the UK. National and regional museums, galleries and heritage sites, local libraries, schools and community centres participate.

The Big Draw is an open invitation to people of all ages to discover how drawing can connect them with their surroundings and the wider community, and offer enjoyment. Over 20 countries join the UK annually in organising events.

Every Big Draw season offers unlimited scope for those who love to draw and those who think they can’t. Find out more >>
