The Big DrawThis month, a huge art project spanning twenty countries and five continents is coming to Cradley. Launched ten years ago, the idea is simple. Anyone, from professional
artist to school child creates a picture on a blank postcard-sized piece of paper. The results are sold or auctioned and
the money raised goes to a locally based charity.
