Nestled in the vibrant heart of Nijmegen, the International Drawing Center emerges as a catalyst for artistic innovation and community engagement. With the Big Draw Nederland festival as our cornerstone, we celebrate the universality and diversity of drawing, making it a central pillar of cultural exchange and expression.
Our center is a dynamic hub where art transcends traditional boundaries, connecting people across national and international lines. Our strategic partnerships, including our collaboration with The Big Draw headquarters in London, enable us to offer a global platform for artists and audiences alike.
Our commitment to public art and placemaking initiatives allows us to transform urban spaces into interactive art canvases, fostering a sense of wonder and engagement within the community. Working closely with municipalities and other organizations, we ensure that art is a visible and vibrant part of everyday life.
Education is at the heart of our mission. Through innovative programs like ‘Borderless Art Education’, we bring art into schools, encouraging children to explore and express diverse perspectives through artistic mediums. Our educational outreach extends from primary to tertiary levels, including collaborations with various educational institutions, embodying our dedication to enriching the international educational landscape with art.
