1000 Drawings Amsterdam
De Brakke Grond

We're back! The main exhibition, sale & party for the night of 1000 Drawings will take place in the heart of Amsterdam, in Vlaams Cultuurhuis de Brakke Grond.

This year we're supporting FairPen who help children in Uganda publish their very own newspapers to influence public opinion and learn how to cope with complex issues. In 2012 we're inviting even more artists and illustrators to contribute an A5 size drawing for this wonderful charity project. And of course: you (artist, amateur or random doodler) are warmly invited to send your drawing for the exhibition! So don't be shy, bring out your creative tools and doodle for a difference!

The animation!

"A Perfect Day for 1000 Frames" was so much fun. Many thanks to all the people of Non-Fiction, A Perfect Day-Tekenshow, and to Stadsherstel's grand gesture of facilitating with the beautifully renovated Posthoornkerk, and of course, to all the creative and diligent doodlers! We've posted photos.

Impression 2011

Last year we collected more than 1,400 drawings for the 1000 Drawings Amsterdam exhibition in support of Young in Prison! The exhibition, sale and party at Club Trouw was a big success thanks to all artists & amateurs who contributed their brilliant drawings and all the musicians & performers who where so generous to perform for free.

And this is what it looked like!
