Jerwood Drawing Prize 2016

Artists are invited to submit entries for the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2016, the largest and longest running annual open exhibition for drawing in the UK. It has established a reputation for its commitment to championing excellence, and promoting and celebrating the breadth of contemporary drawing practice within the UK. The Prize is welcoming entries from all UK based artists, from student to established, working with drawing. The 2016 selectors are Glenn Brown, artist; Stephanie Buck, Director of Kupferstich-Kabinett at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden; and Paul Hobson, Director of Modern Art Oxford.

This will run at Jerwood Space, London, from 14 September – 23 October 2016, before touring to venues across the UK. The prizes, which will be awarded to the winning artists at a private ceremony on 13 September 2016, are a First Prize of £8,000, Second Prize of £5,000 and two Student Awards of £2,000 each. Please note - a £18 fee is required to enter this competition.
