Drawuary

1″ Art Buttons by Aaron Rossner.

This February, eighteen artists converged for the fourth annual Drawuary, a project in which each contributing artist makes a drawing a day for the entire month of February. Drawuary is an exercise in limitations, abundance, ambitions, failure, and success.

Drawuary is a drawing project for everyone: outsiders and insiders; obsessive and compulsive drawers; developing and hesitant new drawers. However, as curator Gabrielle Hill explains: “while the artists this year come from a wide array of arts backgrounds, they share in common a drawing practice that thrives outside of elite arts institutions.”

Drawuary will culminate in an ambitious exhibition of each and every drawing made during the month. Always impressive in scope and scale, this year’s exhibit will feature close to 500 drawings by some truly awesome and driven emerging, underground artists. Drawuary: Not A Day Goes By opens at Gallery Gachet March 8th, 2013 and runs until April 7th.
