THE DRAWING SOCIETY

The DRAWING NOW Prize - for 5 years now - supports an artist and salutes the work of his gallery, with an endowment of 5,000 euros thanks to the Fund for Contemporary Drawing supported by SOFERIM. The selected artist is selected by the members of the selection committee of the galleries of the Salon accompanist of personalities of the art world (Brett Littman, executive director of the Drawing center New York in 2015) and the president of SOFERIM.

The Drawing Society is organizing an exhibition for the winner for the next edition of DRAWING NOW Paris. This Fund was created to accompany artists at the beginning of their careers and first and foremost the winners of the DRAWING NOW Prize. This independent tool, wanted by Christine Phal - founding president of DRAWING NOW Paris - brings together private donors and corporate sponsors within the same entity.
