From a worldwide submission of contemporary drawings, 94 drawings by 88 artists were shortlisted for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2024 exhibition, and 21 drawings by 20 practitioners were shortlisted for the Working Drawing Award.
The Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize is supported by the Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust, and widely regarded as the foremost open exhibition dedicated to drawing in the United Kingdom. The 2024 edition marks the 7th year of generous support from the Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust and is the 30th edition of the annual open drawing exhibition.
A panel of esteemed selectors – Mary Evans, Artist & Director of UCL Slade School of Fine Art, Gary Sangster, Curator & Writer, Co-Director of Drawing Projects UK, and Jennifer Scott, Director of Dulwich Picture Gallery in London – reviewed all works submitted and selected the shortlisted drawings and award-winners.
The Working Drawing Award celebrates the role of drawing within architecture, design and making processes and was chosen by Benjamin Derbyshire, Chair of HTA Design LLP, a leading multidisciplinary design practice, Andrew Grant, Landscape Architect, Founder & Director of Grant Associates, and Caroline Grewar, Director of Programme at V&A Dundee.
