The Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize is led by founding Director Professor Anita Taylor at Bath Spa University and supported by the Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust. Selected from original art works, the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize and exhibition has an established reputation for its commitment to championing excellence and promoting and celebrating the breadth of contemporary drawing practice within the UK. This open exhibition is a platform for drawing practitioners to showcase their work alongside other leading contemporary artists in the field, with the exhibition touring widely in the UK. In offering emerging, mid-career and established artists a national platform to exhibit their work, the project has developed new insights into the role and value of drawing in creative practice today.
The project was founded in 1994 as the Rexel Derwent Open Drawing Exhibition. It was known from 1996 until 2000 as the Cheltenham Open Drawing exhibition and was supported by a private benefactor, Westland Nurseries, The Summerfield Trust, CHK Charities and Rootstein Hopkins Foundation. Most recently, the exhibition has been known as Jerwood Drawing Prize with 17 years of significant support from Jerwood Charitable Foundation from 2001 until 2017. Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust became the principal benefactor in 2018.
Shortlisted exhibitors will be announced in July 2018. The Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize winners will be announced in September 2018.

The Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2018 exhibition will be launched at Trinity Buoy Wharf, London in September 2018, before touring to venues across the UK. Shortlisted artists will be invited to the awards announcement at Trinity Buoy Wharf, London. A full colour illustrated catalogue will be produced to accompany the exhibition.
We’re delighted to announce that there will be an additional £1000 Prize for a ‘working drawing’ – a preparatory drawing for a project or work to be realised in any form.
The annual exhibition of around 65 drawings is selected by a panel of distinguished selectors.
