A chance to see and buy works from 31 graduates of the Royal Drawing School in December.
Works by 31 young emerging artists, graduates of the Royal Drawing School founded in London by His Majesty the King with artist Catherine Goodman CBE LVO, will go on show in the School’s Shoreditch gallery. The exhibition opens on 4 December and runs until 19 December 2024. The winner of the Christie’s Award, selected from amongst the 31 artists, will be announced at a ceremony for the opening of the exhibition on Tuesday 3 December.
The Drawing Year 2024 End of Year Exhibition is a showcase of the work by the artists who have completed their one-year postgraduate-level programme at the School. All the works are for sale at prices starting from £100. The exhibition includes over 400 works and provides a snapshot of the latest developments in drawing techniques incorporating a wide range of materials and influences. It is free to the public and takes place in the spacious ground floor galleries of the Royal Drawing School in Shoreditch, East London. This is an opportunity to see and buy work at an early stage in the careers of young artists.

In his foreword to Ways of Drawing published by the Royal Drawing School in 2019, HRH The (then) Prince of Wales, Royal Founding Patron of the Royal Drawing School wrote: “It is my firm belief that drawing is one of the most direct ways of engaging with the world and that using the most limited of means can lead to the most beautiful results. Furthermore, I am certain that drawing from observation is a central element of success across a broad scope of practice – from architecture, design, fashion and engineering, to film, animation and the wider creative industries.”
A curated selection of the works in the exhibition will go on show in a special preview at Christie’s from 13 - 17 November offering the opportunity to purchase works ahead of its presentation at the Royal Drawing School.
