The Royal Drawing School Young Artists Exhibition
19 - 28 June, times vary
Hostry Exhibition Space
A selection of drawings from the Royal Drawing School’s
Young Artists programme for 10–18 year olds, featuring
work from the Norwich Drawing Club, based at Lion House,
St George’s Works and led by local artist Doug Farthing.
The Royal Drawing School is an independent, not-for-profit
resource that aims to raise the standard and
profile of drawing through teaching and practice. It is
one of only a few institutions in the world offering in-depth,
quality tuition in drawing from observation.
Drawing is a primary language natural to all human
beings, and fundamental to all aspects of learning and
thinking from childhood onwards. It is a crucial route to
innovation across the creative disciplines and beyond,
from fashion, fine art and animation to filmmaking,
product design and engineering.
For some people,
drawing is the easiest way of thinking.
By offering tuition and resources to art students,
artists, children and the public, it aims to address the
permanent need for high-quality drawing teaching
in the UK, filling a gap left by the steady erosion of
observational drawing from the study of art in higher
education and in schools.
Founded in 2000 by HRH The Prince of Wales and
artist Catherine Goodman as The Prince’s Drawing
School, it became the Royal Drawing School in 2014.
Exhibition free to attend. Open 9.30am - 4.30pm Monday to Saturday and 10.00am - 3.00pm on Sundays.
