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.”

Essays: 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.

Eligibility:

The International Drawing Annual is open to any artist submitting original works of art or designcreated within the past three years (2008 – 2010). Professionals and students in ALL disciplines are encouraged to submit. Manifest is eager to receive works of drawing in a wide range of applications (technical, graphic, fine art, architectural, digital, illustration, etc.) with the qualification being that artwork submitted is representative of high quality “drawing.

*We are only considering submissions that have been submitted through our website!
