The artists involved in this collective work predominantly with drawing crossovers into other disciplines. We want to showcase that drawing can extend beyond a simple sketch and become a piece of art in it's own right.
We open up applications to become part of the collective twice a year. Please keep a look out for our open calls! Priority is given to North West Artists but we will consider applications from artists outside the North West as long as they will be active members of the group.
Created in collaboration with AIR Gallery.
Sponsored by Arts Council England.
