Every two years the Drawing Biennial proves to be a highlight in Drawing Room’s programme – a critically acclaimed exhibition showcasing over 200 drawings from some of the most interesting artists working across the globe today. This Biennial will be a vibrant pulse-check of contemporary drawing in 2026, as well as a vital fundraiser that provides Drawing Room with funding for the next two years of activity, supporting artists and our community through championing drawing.
Artists are invited to make and donate an A4-size drawing on paper to the Biennial; these drawings form a stunning installation in the gallery, before being auctioned online.
