Jerwood Drawing Prize

About

This will be the third year this excellent and nationally recognised exhibition comes to BayArt. In 2006, over 2,647 drawings were submitted from which 78 were finally selected. The quality and variety is always of the highest order, and explains why it is such an interesting and popular event. To quote one of last years judges, Dr.Sarah Simblett: "Drawing occupies a unique place in every creator's life, be they a sculptor planning an installation, a fashion designer, architect or engineer, a member of an evening class, a composer notating a score, or a quantum physicist trying to see for themselves the forces and fluctuations of our universe. For me personally, drawing is the most immediate expression of seeing, thinking and feeling, a tool for investigating ideas, a recorder of knowledge, and a reflector of experience".
