So, grab your sketchbooks – unleash your inner artist and get doodling.  Mark your calendars and get ready to for a night of doodles, drawings, and delightful do-goodery!

How Can You Get Involved?

Donate Your Art:
Grab anything A5 and set your mind free! Whether it’s a whimsical doodle, a vibrant sketch, a striking photograph, or a piece of embroidery, we want your A5 masterpieces. Please note, all artworks must be submitted before the 20^th of August; no art will be created on the night itself. Submit your creations to us ahead of time and they will be sold for R200 each, with all proceeds going to support three incredible charities.

Night of 1000 Drawings is run by a team of passionate volunteers and we’re always on the lookout for more help. If you’re enthusiastic about art and want to contribute to this amazing event, we’d love to have you on board.
