Instead of putting crayons in your meaty paws and pressing them against newsprint, try hitting up the
Big Draw (& Print) at H&R Block Artspace at the Kansas City Art Institute (16 East 43rd Street, 816-561-5563). This all-ages event is for anyone who wants to make art. Expect artist-led drawing sessions, collage instruction, and hands-on time with the Print Factory Workshop's press. In the main gallery, an open draw goes from 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is free, and materials are provided. RSVP by sending an e-mail to
bahern@kcai.edu or calling 816-802-3571.
