Projects

Projects organised by the Centre address contemporary drawing in the context of its disciplinary diversity; operate and foster practice-led, pedagogic and theoretical research and enquiry into the subject; and bring together hitherto fragmented areas of drawing research through collaboration and actively disseminate through exhibitions, publications, conferences, colloquia, and the establishment of an archive collection (digital, slide, film, video, actual).

The Centre facilitates dialogue, debate and collaboration between a range of individual artists, designers and researchers and provides a forum for seminars, conferences, exhibitions and other means of dissemination that maximize the contribution to knowledge in the field through the sharing of individual practice/research and collaborative projects regionally, nationally and internationally.
