                  The World's Biggest Drawing Festival


                  GreatArt Announced as Big Draw partner

                  The Big Draw is delighted to announce that GreatArt is sponsoring The Big Draw 2015.

                  GreatArt is the UK’s largest range of art materials, with over 50,000 different products available online at www.greatart.co.uk.

                  The GreatArt warehouse

                  Founded in 2002, GreatArt is part of the Gerstaecker family, who have been supplying artists with art materials for over 50 years. The company's initial customers were therapy centres that used art in all its forms to improve the quality of life for those with disabilities. Today, artists from every walk of life benefit from the Gerstaecker specialist ability to source and supply the finest art materials currently available.

                  GreatArt supplies to schools, universities, hospitals, and charities all over the UK as well as individual professional and leisure artists. The range includes materials from all techniques such as painting, sculpture, printmaking and of course drawing in all media.

                  Their extensive range offers artists the benefit of choice, but GreatArt also believes in the concept of providing ‘art for all’, making materials accessible for all budgets and all artists. So with this in mind GreatArt created the I Love Art brand, providing quality materials at an economical price, cheaper than any other brand on the market, suitable for all ages and loved by beginners and professionals alike.

                  As well as working hard to provide the widest range for the best price, GreatArt is passionate about supporting art within local communities and helping to provide opportunities for artists of all ages and levels. Over the years GreatArt has worked with hundreds of art clubs and organisations, from local groups to national societies, helping them to promote their events and providing donations in the form of workshop materials and prizes.

                  To help support the 2015 Big Draw festival, GreatArt will be promoting events and offering exclusive offers on art materials to Big Draw organisers as part of a new partnership. They will also be hosting their own Big Draw event at Art Materials Live 2015, 5th-8th November.

                  ‘GreatArt is very proud to support The Big Draw, an organisation that shares our philosophy of ‘art for all’. They work hard to provide a powerful message and we’re very excited to be working with them to help promote the importance of drawing and visual literacy.’

                  – Louise Rose, Marketing Executive
