12 SEPTEMBER – 28 OCTOBER 2012

The Jerwood Drawing Prize 2012 is the largest and longest running annual open exhibition for drawing in the UK. Judged by an independent panel of selectors:

Stephen Coppel – Curator of the Modern Collection, Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum
Kate Macfarlane – Co-Director of The Drawing Room, London
Lisa Milroy – Artist and Head of Graduate Painting, Slade School of Fine Art, UCL

The prize aims to explore and celebrate the diversity, excellence and range of current drawing practice in the UK. This year Jerwood Visual Arts (JVA) and Drawing Projects UK have increased the total prize fund, from £11,000 to £17,000 – as a response to the difficult financial climate artists currently find themselves in.

From a submission of almost 3,000 entries, the selectors have brought together an exhibition of 78 works from 73 artists. The shortlist includes established artists as well as relative newcomers and students fresh from art college.

The prizes, were awarded to the winning artists at a ceremony on Tuesday 11 September 2012, and are a first prize of £8,000, second prize of £5,000 and two student awards of £2,000 each:

First Prize: Karolina Gluseic
