Drawn Together: Royal Drawing School Summer Show 2024, curated by Julia Balchin (Principal of the School) is a group exhibition that reveals the breadth and flexibility of drawing and the unique way in which it connects all artistic practice, opening 17 June until 12 July 2024.

The exhibition emphasises the way in which the boundaries of perceptual drawing can be pushed; from works on paper, metal and ceramics to woodblock prints and etching. It is the first exhibition of a new annual programme of shows celebrating the best of contemporary drawing; made possible with the generous support of arts philanthropist Maria Manetti Shrem.
The 30 exhibiting artists are all graduates of the Royal Drawing School’s postgraduate-level programme, The Drawing Year, who have studied at the School over the past 24 years.
