Draw to Perform is looking forward to the sixth international festival for performative drawing and painting.

The festival will run over two weekends and will include four dedicated workshops and ten live performances by inspiring and creative local and international artists. All performances will also be available to watch online via live streaming.

This time the festival will be dedicated to exploring the transition from drawing to painting live and from two to three dimensions. It will explore the connection between drawing and performance art and the relevance of drawing as a modern art medium. The festival will focus on the various options of sharing the process of creating art live while drawing and painting with audience. Disabled and non-disabled artists, dancers and musicians, young and elder participants will take part in ten dedicated live performances and four workshops.
