Jan & Feb 2026
DRAW!
Supported by David Hockney
We looked back on a year of drawing with this exhibition in public spaces across the North.
We teamed up with our pals at JCDecaux to bring the best of DRAW! to people across the North.
Thousands of you took part in our year-long nationwide drawing project DRAW!, taking inspiration from the likes of Johnny Vegas, Rose Blake, Adébayo Bolaji, Harry Hill and Dame Zandra Rhodes to create your own drawings on 12 monthly themes. In January 2026, we chose some of our favourite DRAW! submissions for a huge exhibition, taking place at bus stops, train stations and shopping malls – not just in Bradford but across the North, from Manchester to Newcastle.
I like drawing because I get to be in my world. I feel proud that it is on display to lots of people and I hope it puts smiles on their faces.”
