🖌🎨Monmouth Town Council – proud supporters of The Big Draw 🖌🎨

In October 2026 The Big Draw promoted drawing as a universal language and a powerful way to focus, relax and share the creative process with others.

The artistic community of Monmouth have used enormous sheets of cardboard provided by Tri-Wall UK Limited to illustrate Monmouth past, present and future. Monmouth Building Society sponsored art aprons…protective garments.
Open pop up draw/workshops led by Empty Space CIC artists took place in Monmouth Library, endorsed by Monmouth Town Council through a grant to help cover resources.

Working in collaboration Empty Space CIC, Monmouth Comprehensive, Haberdashers’ Monmouth, Monmouth U3a, Monmouth Library & Community and numerous local artists have achieved a collective hanging/suspended mural.

“Then.Now.Next” is currently exhibited at Monmouth Library and Community Hub. Don't miss your opportunity to come to see it!
