Contemporary drawings from across the country are featured in the national juried exhibition, "Drawing from Perception, Invention, and Memory". Martha Armstrong, https://www.marthaarmstrong.com, served as the juror and selected pieces by 78 artists. Highlighting a diversity of approaches, material, subject matter, and scale, the exhibition will run from November 10 through December 12, 2026.
The exhibition will mark the tenth installment of the drawing competition at the galleries. In 1996, the first juror was renowned painter, Bernard Chaet, who taught at Yale University and wrote The Art of Drawing, widely considered to be the definitive text on drawing. For subsequent exhibitions in the series, jurors have included Rackstraw Downes, Rosemarie Beck, Graham Nickson, Charles Cajorie, Ruth Miller, Stanley Lewis, Catherine Kehoe, and Eve Mansdorf.
