RABLEY Drawing Centre SKETCH 2013
Open Sketchbook Drawing Prize
Deadline: 21 June 2013
Submission fee: £15/£22 Students £12/£18
“The sketchbook is the most intimate creative form, it is the space where our ideas first become concrete and echoes of our ideas unravel a space for thought. For some contemporary artists this intimate form is the ‘work’, for others it is a place to record and hold information. For most it is the hinterland between the genesis of an idea and ‘the making” Meryl Ainslie.
