Join us at The Walt Disney Family Museum to celebrate The Big Draw, the world’s largest drawing festival. Our annual, museum-wide community event will take place on October 5 and will celebrate Walt Disney’s contributions to visual arts. In connection with this year’s “Drawn to Life” theme, experience special drawing sessions exploring nature-inspired art, create a care card for someone who needs a smile, learn how to draw Mickey Mouse, and more. Don’t miss special film screenings of Disneynature’s Chimpanzee (2012) and Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out (2015), then connect back to stories told in our main galleries and in our special exhibition, Mickey Mouse: From Walt to the World. In addition to offering free activities for all, the museum also offers free museum and special exhibition admission for guests 17 and under with paid adult admission.

This year, we are proud to partner with the Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots & Shoots program. Founded by Goodall in 1991, Roots & Shoots is a youth service program for young people of all ages, whose mission is to foster respect and compassion for all living things, to promote understanding of all cultures and beliefs, and to inspire each individual to take action to make the world a better place for people, other animals, and the environment. For more info, visit rootsandshoots.org and on social media @RootsAndShoots.
