Correspondence: Drawing Symposium 2023

Correspondence: Drawing Symposium 2023

Join us for our 2023 symposium exploring the special place drawing has in the conversations between artists about their work.

The National Centre for Drawing’s 2023 symposium is based on this correspondence between artists and their ideas, and how drawing helps elucidate them. It celebrates the special role drawing plays in connecting people, thought, times and places.

‘Correspondence’ presents four very different pair of artists who have established dialogues across distances. They will share their perspectives on the common ground discovered through this dialogue, shed light on the role of drawing in their practice and speak about the drawings that inspire them.

Hosted in the National Art School’s historic Cell Block Theatre, you are invited to attend either in person or online.

“I love the magic of watching a photo develop, but I also loved the idea of paintings by the great masters. I found myself being drawn to the art canon and then finding my own visual language to place it in a contemporary setting.” - Anne Zahalka  Read more about Anne Zahalka and her major survey exhibition ZAHALKAWORLD – an artist’s archive in The Sydney Morning Herald’s profile at the link in bio.
