Course
Critical Mass / / DRAW
Critical Mass / / DRAW is a new course for artists whose work uses drawing as a prominent medium in their practice.
Programmed and delivered to each participating artist’s requirements and ambitions, Critical Mass / / DRAW will provide tailored critique, professional development, inspiration and new lasting networks.
Following on from our successful first iteration of this programme – Critical Mass / / SCULPT, we are excited to be supporting the practices of artists who use drawing* within their creative practices. This course continues our ethos of collaboration, sharing and support between the MDP team, visiting speakers and participating artists.
