'Thinking Through Drawing' Conference fee £40 (£30 concessions e.g. students). Payment will be made on the day at the door. You can pay by cash or cheque but not by card.
Booking is straightforward. Simply send an email to Steve Garner (s.w.garner@open.ac.uk) to register for a place. Please state if you are applying for a place at the concessions rate.
If, subsequently, you find you cannot attend PLEASE let me know as soon as possible.
Fee does not include lunch. You are welcome to bring a packed lunch or to purchase food and drink in one of the many cafes and sandwich bars in the vicinity and your food can be consumed inside the Cochrane Theatre. Tea and coffee will be provided.
If you want to bring a large group of students could you check with Steve Garner first.
We plan to hold an optional early evening event close by (The British Museum?) for those who can stay for a drink and a chat.
This conference is in collaboration with the Campaign for Drawing (CfD) who are holding a number of events in London either side of the 8th October. The central London venue provides an opportunity to bring together those attending CfD events and people from the DRN in 'Drawing for Learning, Engagement and Enjoyment': an international conference.
