Our Patron: Sir Quentin Blake KBE
“Over the years I have come to learn the power of drawing and the surprising effect it can have: on morale, judgement, mental health and our general wellbeing. Many people are not aware of this, but The Artworks wonderfully does, and is brilliant at putting the knowledge into action for the benefit of everybody. It’s a privilege to be associated with such an energetic and inspiring institution.”
In 2017, Sir Quentin Blake KBE became our principal Patron. This powerful endorsement supports our organisation in its commitment to deliver high quality arts provision for all, regardless of age, ability or background.
Quentin’s role as chair for the Campaign for Drawing combined with all his work in hospitals makes him a perfect fit with our organisation.
