Jerwood Drawing Prize 2011: Call for entries
Jerwood Visual Arts and Drawing Projects UK are delighted to announce Iwona Blazwick, Tim Marlow and Rachel Whiteread as the selectors for the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2011.
Deadline for entries: Monday 20 June 2011 at 5pm
The Jerwood Drawing Prize is the largest and longest running annual open exhibition for drawing in the UK. Judged by an independent panel of selectors, the Prize aims to recognise and support all UK based artists, from student to established, working in the field of drawing.
The 2011 selectors, Iwona Blazwick, Director, Whitechapel Gallery; Tim Marlow, writer, broadcaster and Director of Exhibitions, White Cube; and Rachel Whiteread, artist, will look to create an exhibition that represents and celebrates the diversity, excellence and range of current drawing practice in the UK. From an anticipated submission of well over 2,000 entries, the selectors will bring together 50 - 70 drawings for an exhibition at JVA at Jerwood Space, London from 14 September – 30 October 2011. The exhibition will then tour nationally.
Awards include a first prize of £6,000, a second prize of £3,000 and two student awards of £1,000 each. The Awards will be announced at a private awards ceremony on Tuesday 13 September 2011.
