HomeTown is a new stay-home international drawing challenge!

A free, open-to-all, collective drawing challenge that aims to create a giant tessellated isometric drawing from creatives around the world!

Draw your insight into staying at home during lockdown and join this international collaboration!

The challenge aims to show how we can remain connected in these unprecedented times and that whilst we’re all ‘only a room away’, regardless of the country or distance apart, we are united by creativity.
Using the template provided, we want you to get creative and show us something about your experience working from/ staying home. Archisource will then piece the individual drawings together live on their website archisource.org to collectively build HomeTown.
