ABOUT THE JERWOOD DRAWING PRIZE
The Jerwood Drawing Prize is led by Professor Anita Taylor at Bath Spa University and supported by Jerwood Charitable Foundation through its national programme Jerwood Visual Arts. Selected from original art works, it has established a reputation for its commitment to championing excellence, and promoting and celebrating the breadth of contemporary drawing practice within the UK. By showcasing the work of emerging artists alongside established artists, the Jerwood Drawing Prize has contributed to the careers of numerous now well-known British artists since it was founded in 1994. An independent panel of three selectors will choose up to 70 drawings for the exhibition. The Jerwood Drawing Prize winners will be announced on Tuesday 13 September 2016.
