For the third year in a row, Grand Park and Ryman Arts team up to present the flagship event for The Big Draw LA, a fun-filled, creative event that celebrates the art of drawing by welcoming thousands of Angelenos to draw together.
Grand Park will be transformed into a giant experimental drawing studio, with both public performances and many participatory drawing activities. People can create their own Thaumatrope, a popular optical illusion toy from the 19th century, paint on a giant Sumi Ink Drawing created by all who attend, and explore traditional and alternative mark- making at drawing stations located throughout the park. Food trucks will be onsite.

11am & 12:30pm World City Performances:Los Masis & Bolivia Corazón de America
