About the exhibition
A curated selection of key works from the upcoming Dobell Drawing Prize #22 will be available for regional and national tour from mid-2021 until end-2022.
This touring exhibition presents an outstanding opportunity to bring a prestigious drawing prize to new audiences, and to deliver an engaging program that facilitates public participation in contemporary drawing.
The Dobell Drawing Prize is one of the leading drawing exhibitions in Australia and an unparalleled celebration of drawing innovation. Presented in partnership with the Sir William Dobell Art Foundation, the Prize explores the enduring importance of drawing within contemporary art practice.
Presented for the first time at the National Art School Gallery in 2019, the exhibition expanded and invigorated definitions of drawing, with textile, sculpture, video and photography represented alongside traditional drawing mediums. Guest judge Ben Quilty awarded the Prize to celebrated photographic artist Justine Varga.
The Dobell Drawing Prize builds on the legacy of Australia’s most respected award for drawing, the Dobell Prize for Drawing, previously held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales from 1993 to 2012. Former Prize winners Kevin Connor, Nicholas Harding, Gareth Sansom, Jan Senbergs, Garry Shead and Aida Tomescu.
