ABOUT THE JERWOOD DRAWING PRIZE

The Jerwood Drawing Prize is a joint initiative, led by Professor Anita Taylor at Bath Spa University and supported by Jerwood Charitable Foundation through its contemporary gallery programme Jerwood Visual Arts. Selected from original art works, it has established a reputation for its commitment to championing excellence in, 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 helped contributed to the careers of numerous well-known British artists over its history since 1994. An independent panel of three selectors will choose up to 70 drawings for the exhibition. The prizes total £17,000 and will be announced on Tuesday 15 September 2015.

The Jerwood Drawing Prize 2015 exhibition will be shown as part of the Jerwood Visual Arts programme at Jerwood Space, 171 Union Street, London SE1 from 16 September - 25 October 2015, before touring to venues across the UK. Accepted artists will be invited to a private view on Tuesday 15 September 2015 at Jerwood Space, London, during which the prizes will be awarded. A full colour illustrated catalogue will be produced to accompany the exhibition.
