Guest Artist
“Outside of speech and movement, drawing/mark making is one of our simplest means of communication and expression. It signals to the world I am here and willing to transcribe my thoughts, my feelings, and my environment into a language that can outlast my existence. To be seen, to be held, to be shared, to be countered. The physical receipts are evidence of how desperately we want to communicate with each other and the lengths we are willing to go.”

The Program
Each Monday from February to April, PRG will host Drop-In Drawing Sessions. This program is part of The Drawing Room initiative – which is inspired by historic drawing rooms—short for “withdrawing room”—this installation transforms the gallery into a contemporary space for reflection, conversation, and creative exchange. Rooted in social sculpture – art shaped through collective participation. Drawing Room bridges campus and community where the art studio meets the luxury living space.
Location:
Hahne’s Building, Paul Robeson Galleries @ Express Newark, Room #307 Main Gallery.
