About DRAW!Share your drawingDiscover more

David Hockney has drawn the world around him for 60 years – and the Bradford-born artist is now supporting DRAW!, a nationwide drawing project for Bradford 2025.

Each month in 2025, a different artist is inviting us all to create a drawing inspired by a particular theme.

In January, David Hockney invited us to draw something you find beautiful.

In February, internationally-renowned artist Adébayo Bolaji asked us to draw a portrait.

In March, digital artist Jason Wilsher-Mills asks us to draw your favourite thing.

And looking ahead to April, renowned artist and illustrator Rose Blake asks us to get inspired by the view from a window.

Share your masterpiece with the world at bradford2025.co.uk/mydrawing or on socials (#Bradford2025 or by tagging @bradford_2025) for your chance to see your images displayed on our website each month and in an exhibition at the close of the year.

The world is very very beautiful if you look at it, but most people don't look very much - Looking at the world is good for you.

Inspired by David Hockney, we’re encouraging everyone to pick up a pencil, a pen, an iPad, a piece of chalk, or whatever you choose to draw with, and create your own drawings.

Meet this months artist Jason-Wilsher Mills, who has invited us to have a go at drawing your favourite thing.

With a different theme every month, we’re bringing together some incredible artists to get us all drawing for 2025.

And don’t forget to take a photo of your drawing and share it with us at bradford2025.co.uk/mydrawing or on social media using the hashtag #Bradford2025, or tag @bradford_2025.
