The Jerwood Drawing Prize is the largest
and longest running annual open exhibition
for drawing in the UK. The exhibition
provides a platform to showcase the work
of drawing practitioners, and helps to define
a wider understanding of the role and value
of drawing in creative practice. This year,
works by 65 artists have been selected from
2,811 submissions from across the UK.
The Jerwood Drawing Prize is a joint initiative,
led by Professor Anita Taylor at Bath Spa
University, and supported by Jerwood
Charitable Foundation through Jerwood
Visual Arts. The Evelyn Williams Drawing
Award is funded by the Evelyn Williams Trust
working in association with the Jerwood
Drawing Prize, with this year’s award winner’s
solo exhibition hosted in 2018 by the Jerwood
Gallery in Hastings.
