Drawing Connections Exhibition 

Sample-Studios Gallery, The Lord Mayor’s Pavilion, Fitzgerald’s Park 

6th - 28th October 2022 

Curator: Drawbridge drawbridge/ https://sample-studios.com/ 

Call for expressions of interest from graduates of MTU’s MA:AP programme, whose work encompasses drawing practice, to take part in an exhibition of drawing research work/projects that respond to drawings in the Crawford Art Gallery drawing collection. 

The main exhibition site will be The Lord Mayor’s Pavilion, Fitzgerald’s Park but we are also interested in projects that explore the expanded field of drawing practice as, for example: embodied act or performance, as site specific response or narrative, as a method of capturing and exploring interactive collaborations, etc. 

Six selected participants will have access to the selected works from the drawing collection in the Crawford Art Gallery on dates to be confirmed in May/June. Access to the Crawford Art Gallery drawing collection is also available online: https://crawfordartgallery.ie/online-collection/ 

The exhibition will be held on 6th - 28th October 2022 in The Lord Mayor’s Pavilion in Fitzgeralds Park. Sample-Studios may also facilitate workshops or other related activities which could use the participants as facilitators if they so wish.
