Drawing Centre Diepenheim believes that drawing is a democratic medium that brings people together, and forms the basis of fine art, and of ideas. The lines that unfold may evolve into autonomous drawings or find expression in other presentation formats, from installation to performance. The Centre provides Dutch and international artists with opportunities for experimentation, and invites the public to take part. With this, drawing is able to extend into a multiplicity of fields, in the arts and beyond.

The Drawing Centre’s programme fosters experimentation and research. The Centre encourages expanding the boundaries of the medium, experimenting with new modes of exhibition-making and engaging with new forms of representation. Questioning the role of

drawing in the development of contemporary visual art is one of the starting points.

In collaboration with its selected artists, Drawing Centre Diepenheim reflects on our world today, and maps alternate visions of the present, from contrasting perspectives on society to personal experiences. Our audiences are invited to get involved, participate, and express their own creativity through drawing.

Located in tranquil rural surroundings, Drawing Centre Diepenheim is an art space that offers time and space for close observation, conversation, and opportunities to engage with drawing as a means of discovering and understanding today’s world together.
