The Drawing Show Miami Beach 2010

The Drawing Show will premier its inaugural exhibition at the Verge Art Fair featuring only drawing and drawing-related works from internationally renowned as well as emerging artists this December, concurrent with Art Basel Miami Beach. The Drawing Show will take place at The Catalina Hotel and Beach Club, in partnership with the Verge Art Fair. A cocktail reception will take place on December 2 from 3 – 6pm, with special guests and participating artists scheduled to attend.

Continuing in the effort to advance the interests of unique approaches to the current state of visual art, Verge Art Fair is proud to announce its commitment to mounting a section devoted exclusively to drawing as a medium that overlaps all disciplines. The Drawing Show will present drawing as a unique artistic practice, one that is universally accessible, and often the first step in an artist's exercise of ideas that inform both their larger creative practice and the cultivation of new forms of visual art.

As a touchstone to the evolutions influenced by and visited upon artistic practice by the art marketplace and its requisite economic fluxuations, drawing continues to serve as a subversive force, both in its delineation of artistic ideas as well as in its potential to inspire and serve as the first step in production unrestrained by economic categories.

The Drawing Show is currently accepting applications for exhibitors to its inaugural 2010 exposition in Miami Beach. The deadline to apply is October 15, 2010.
