The Big Draw Festival Schools Event 2023

Primary and secondary schools are invited to join Hauser & Wirth Somerset to celebrate The Big Draw Festival 2023 theme ‘Drawing with Senses.’ 

Inspired by the multidisciplinary Kunsthalle form of ‘GRUPPENAUSSTELLUNG’, we invite schools to explore the variety of artwork in the exhibition whilst listening closely to their senses and surroundings. Creating audio recordings of their sensory experiences, schools will explore ways to translate sounds into color, shape and form through drawing. 

A morning session (10 – 11.30 am) or afternoon session (2 – 3.30 pm) are available to book on the following dates: 

• Tuesday 10 October   
• Wednesday 11 October  
• Tuesday 17 October   
• Wednesday 18 October 
• Tuesday 31 October  

Each workshop session is allocated on a first come first served basis. To book a place, please contact hwsomersetlearning@hauserwirth.com.  

Continuing Hauser & Wirth’s annual partnership with The Big Draw, this event is part of the gallery’s global learning program with events across our locations in Somerset, London, Menorca, Los Angeles, New York and Chililda Leku. All participants are invited to submit their audio recordings to our Learning team to be part of this project throughout The Big Draw Festival period in October. Please be aware that only a small selection will be uploaded to our website.
