6th Annual Drawing Discourse Exhibition

UNC Asheville invites artists to submit entries to an international juried exhibition of contemporary drawing. The exhibition seeks to examine drawing as it is practiced and defined by today's artists, demonstrating the continued significance of drawing through both conventional and innovative methods. Accepted work will be exhibited in UNC Asheville's S. Tucker Cooke Gallery from January 16, 2015 through March 1, 2015. Esteemed juror Val Britton will open the exhibition with a lecture on January 16, 2015, with an exhibition opening reception immediately following.

Eligibility is open to all artists 18 years of age or older. All work must be original, completed in the past two years, and cannot have been previously exhibited at UNC Asheville. Media is open to any traditional or experimental drawing media including two or three-dimensional works, video, or installation. Work must fit through a standard set of double doors with a 10'6" ceiling height and up to 36' for both floor and wall space. Entry fee is $30 for the first image; each additional image is $5, with a limit of 6 images total. A full color catalogue will be printed, and each accepted artist will receive one complimentary copy.

$1000 in cash prizes will be awarded during the exhibition opening reception as chosen by the juror. Sales are encouraged with a 30% commission retained by UNC Asheville from the retail price. Accepted works must arrive ready to install between January 5-9, 2015, and must not exceed 100 lbs. Artwork should be shipped prepaid via UPS, USPS, DHL, or FedEx with a prepaid return shipping label. Hand delivery is available Monday-Friday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.
