2025 ANU School of Art & Design Drawing Prize Finalists
Congratulations to the finalists of the 2025 Drawing Prize!
The ANU School of Art & Design Drawing Prize showcases and celebrates the breadth and depth of drawing practice within the ANU School of Art & Design. The Prize is an annual event open to all current students enrolled in one or more courses in Semester 2 at the ANU School of Art & Design. This year entrants were asked to consider more deeply what drawing means to them:
Drawing is so much more than pencil on paper. To draw is to make a mark: you may scratch and stick, write and sew, extend and dissolve, be still and perform, provide and take, capture a moment and tell a story, maintain rules and push boundaries. Consider drawing to be an exercise in visualisation, as a process driven practice.
