This first biennial drawing open submission to be held at One Church Street is a new initiative in line with the Gallery’s stated aims, to stimulate the debate surrounding contemporary art. Consequently, a very broad interpretation of what drawing is, will be encouraged in applications.
The exhibition of selected works, which results from this submission, will be shown from October 5th – 30th 2010 to coincide with the countrywide event called 'The Big Draw'.

The Selection Panel will comprise:
