‘I find drawings fascinating in that many artists use drawings as a work tool … and with drawing the hand of the draughtsman has been on the paper – there is an intimate connection’—Sigrún Davídsdóttir, Director’s Circle
Our flexible Community Studio and double-height, light-filled Gallery at New Tannery Way in Bermondsey are available to hire – with special rates available for community organisations, Tannery Arts studio members, and fellow charities/non-profits.
We wish to thank the Board, the Biennial artists for their generous donations to our Drawing Biennial fundraisers our Network members and the following who have given their support for our programme and activities.
Every two years the Drawing Biennial proves to be a highlight in the Drawing Room programme; a critically acclaimed exhibition showcasing drawings from a cross-section of the most interesting artists working today, as well as a fundraiser that provides Drawing Room with vital income for two years of activity.
