CALL FOR ENTRIES

4th Annual INTERNATIONAL DRAWING ANNUAL

A Competitive Annual Publication of Works of Contemporary Drawing

and Writing About Drawing

Deadline December 31st

The International Drawing Annual is an extension of Manifest’s Drawing

Center activities. Its goal is to support the recognition, documentation,

and publication of excellent, current, and relevant works of drawing from

around the world. A natural question will be “what is drawing?” and that is

exactly the question the Annual is meant to investigate from year to year.

Furthermore the goal is to ask “what is exceptional drawing?” Therefore

submissions are expected to vary, including a range of drawing types, from

the most academic to the most experimental, but all with some relevance to

the artists’ honest understanding of the practice of “drawing.”

With the inclusion of a call for writing about drawing Manifest eagerly

pursues a deeper understanding of how drawing is realized, discussed, and

interpreted in contemporary society. Works of writing will be selected to

complement the artwork chosen for inclusion in the publication.
