Dobell Drawing Prize Exhibition Launch Event at SECCA

SECCA is proud to present the Dobell Drawing Prize #23, a National Art School Touring Exhibition.

The Dobell Drawing Prize is an unparalleled celebration of drawing technique and innovation. 

SECCA will showcase 46 of 64 finalists from the 2023 biennial prize, including the winning piece by artist Jane Grealey, which the judges said was beautifully executed, very skilful and expanded drawing to a different level with her layering of architectural elements. 

A highlight of our launch event will be a live drawing performance by exhibiting artist Luke Thurgate. Luke took a bold approach by entering a wall drawing into the prize and he’s been travelling with the exhibition to install his piece directly onto the walls at each venue. At SECCA, Luke will be recreating his work - I believe in you - live during the opening night and over the first few days of the show. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to observe Luke in action and gain insight into his masterful drawing techniques.
