National Open Call for
Submissions
The Second White Water
Gallery Annual National Juried Drawing Exhibition 2010
The White
Water Gallery has been presenting contemporary art from across
Canada for over 30 years. Expanding on this success, we are
hosting our inaugural juried exhibition. In recent years drawing
has redefined itself as one of the most open and adaptable forms
of Contemporary art practice. Traditionally, drawing was limited
to “work on paper”, but today, it encompasses an ever-expanding
range of approaches and methods. White Water Gallery seeks
works from across Canada
which reconsiders traditional and contemporary approaches to
drawing, as both an action and medium.
