How does The Drawing Center define drawing?
The Drawing Center interprets drawing as widely as possible, encompassing both draftsmanship and experimental art to articulate and emphasize the crucial role of drawing in the development of creative thought and the visual arts. The Drawing Center is continually exploring the borderlines of the definition of drawing.
The Drawing Center does not define drawing per se. Exploring the boundaries of drawing is an important part of the institution’s mission, and our working conception of the medium is of necessity evolving. We encourage you to visit our Website to look over the range of works that have been exhibited in the past. You can also use part of your artist statement to explain how your work relates to drawing if you think it might not be immediately obvious. We’ll read it with interest and an open mind.
