Join us online on Thursday 3 November at 5pm for this Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2022 Drawing Discussion - Selector's Highlights with Isabel Seligman by reserving a place here.

Isabel Seligman, Monument Trust Curator of Modern and Contemporary Drawing at the British Museum, was one of three selectors of the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2022, alomg with Lucy Byatt, Director of Hospitalfield in Arbroath, Scotland, and Danie Mellor, Australian Artist.

Together, the panel selected 113 drawings by 94 drawing practitioners including 11 students from over 3,200 entries from 1,617 drawing practitioners from 45 different countries for the exhibition and awards that total £17,000. This large and diverse exhibition, of 134 drawings overall, reflects a broad range of current drawing practice. It includes works on paper and other supports, moving image and performance, made by artists, architects, designers and makers at all stages of their careers living and working across the UK as well as in Australia, Chile, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Spain, and the USA.

Isabel Seligman said of the selection process: “It was a real privilege and pleasure to see the incredible diversity and quality of drawings submitted – from the painstaking and minutely-observed to the throwaway, exuberant and extravagant and I never expected the process to be laced with so much joy and surprise.” 

The Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize project is led by its founding Director, Professor Anita Taylor, Dean of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design at the University of Dundee, and is supported by the Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust. Anita Taylor will convene this Drawing Discussion.

The exhibition is currently on tour to The Willis Museum and Sainsbury Gallery in Basingstoke.
