We have teamed up with NEATEN (North East Art Teachers/ Educators Network) and The 2020 Big Draw to ask you to create work inspired by Rene Magritte and Climate Change.
In 2020 The Big Green Draw Festival #ClimateOfChange focuses on the relationship between people and our living environments and ecosystems; highlighting how we live today and the ways in which we do and do not harmonise with nature. The Big Green Draw is eager to help showcase mindsets and actions that proactively support positive symbiosis between people and the Earth.
