In this time of forced introversion and on-line communication, The National Centre for Drawing’s 2021 Drawing symposium delves into the question of what Drawing is and does now, how it connects us to the present and makes us present in the world.

Eight very different artists from all over the world will talk to you and each other about the role of drawing in their practice and the drawings that inspire them.

Hosted in the National Art School’s historic Cell Block Theatre, you are invited to attend either on-line or in person. If you are not in Sydney there will be on-line options for you to join the conversation.
