FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A THE DRAWING CENTER, A MUSEUM IN MANHATTAN'S SOHO DISTRICT, EXPLORES THE MEDIUM OF DRAWING AS PRIMARY, DYNAMIC, AND RELEVANT TO CONTEMPORARY CULTURE, THE FUTURE OF ART, AND CREATIVE THOUGHT. ITS ACTIVITIES-WHICH ARE BOTH MULTI-DISCIPLINARY AND BROADLY HISTORICAL-INCLUDE EXHIBITIONS; SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATIONS; A MENTORING PROGRAM FOR EMERGING ARTISTS THAT CONSISTS OF STUDIO VISITS AND INVITATIONS TO PRESENT WORK AT THE DRAWING CENTER; THE "DRAWING PAPERS" PUBLICATION SERIES; PUBLIC PROGRAMS; AND EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES FOR SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY GROUPS. IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1977 BY CURATOR MARTHA BECK (1938-2014). THE IMPACT ON THE MEDIUM THAT THE DRAWING CENTER HAS HAD OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS IS CLEAR. DRAWING HAS TAKEN ITS PLACE AS A CENTRAL AND RESPECTED ART FORM, WITH INSTITUTIONS AND GALLERIES ACROSS THE GLOBE. IT IS THE SUBJECT OF MAJOR EXHIBITIONS THAT CONFIRM ITS ARTISTIC IMPORTANCE AND COMMERCIAL VIABILITY. THIS SHIFT IN THE FIELD HAS ALLOWED THE DRAWING CENTER TO RETHINK ITS MISSION, MOVING AWAY FROM A MORE DEFENSIVE STANCE ABOUT DRAWING-THAT IT IS LEGITIMATE, IMPORTANT, AND VALUABLE-TO A MORE EXPANSIVE AND POSITIVE EXPLORATION OF HOW DRAWING OPERATES IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE. THIS NEW INSTITUTIONAL APPROACH HAS BEEN POPULAR WITH GENERAL AUDIENCES AND THE FIELD IN GENERAL, AND THE DRAWING CENTER IS SEEING INCREASED ANNUAL ATTENDANCE FIGURES AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BROADER BASE OF SUPPORTERS. EVERY YEAR, THE DRAWING CENTER SERVES 20,000+ INDIVIDUALS BOTH ON-SITE AND THROUGH OFF-SITE DRAWING WORKSHOPS. AS A MUSEUM THAT DOES NOT MAINTAIN A COLLECTION, THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE DRAWING CENTER'S PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITY IS TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS AND LONGER-TERM SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATIONS. THE MUSEUM MOUNTS 3 TO 6 EXHIBITIONS OR INSTALLATIONS ANNUALLY ACROSS ITS THREE GALLERY SPACES. OFTEN, THESE EXHIBITIONS TRAVEL ON TO DIFFERENT NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL VENUES. DURING THE 2020-2021 EXHIBITION SEASON, THE DRAWING CENTER HOSTED SEVEN EXHIBITIONS IN ITS VARIOUS GALLERIES, INCLUDING "100 DRAWINGS FROM NOW," AN EXHIBITION OF DRAWINGS MADE BY AN INTERNATIONAL GROUP OF ARTISTS DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE PANDEMIC. IN SUMMER 2020, THE DRAWING CENTER CONTINUED TO ENGAGE VISITORS VIRTUALLY WITH ITS EXHIBITIONS "CURTIS TALWST SANTIGO: CAN'T I ALTER"GUO FENGYI: TO SEE FROM A DISTANCE." "CURTIS TALWST SANTIAGO: CAN'T I ALTER" WAS THE FIRST EXHIBITION DEVOTED TO THE CANADIAN-TRINIDADIAN ARTIST'S DRAWING PRACTICE. IN "CAN'T I ALTER," SANTIAGO CREATED A MULTI-FACETED NARRATIVE IN AN IMMERSIVE, DRAWING-FILLED INSTALLATION THAT EXPLORED THE THEME OF ANCESTRY AND THE NECESSITY OF PRESERVING THE PAST WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING THE FALLACIES IMPLICIT IN HISTORICAL RECOLLECTION. "GUO FENGYI: TO SEE FROM A DISTANCE" WAS THE FIRST MAJOR INSTITUTIONAL PRESENTATION OF THIS CHINESE ARTIST'S WORK IN THE UNITED STATES. THE EXHIBITION FEATURED MORE THAN THIRTY WORKS FROM GUO'S BRIEF YET PROLIFIC CAREER, INCLUDING DRAWINGS EXECUTED ON BOOK AND CALENDAR PAGES AND ON CLOTH, AS WELL AS SMALL- AND LARGE-SCALE DRAWINGS ON RICE-PAPER SCROLLS. "GUO FENGYI: TO SEE FROM A DISTANCE" TRAVELED TO THE SCAD MUSEUM OF ART IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA WHERE IT WAS ON VIEW FROM AUGUST 20 - NOVEMBER 29, 2020. DURING THIS TIME OF CLOSURE, THE DRAWING CENTER'S ENTIRE STAFF MOBILIZED TO LAUNCH A NUMBER OF NEW VIRTUAL OFFERINGS, TAILORED FOR REMOTE AUDIENCES, WHO ENGAGED IN OUR VIRTUAL PROGRAMS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE. THESE NEW, VIRTUAL VISITORS PARTICIPATED IN DRAWNOW WORKSHOPS HOSTED ON ZOOM, LIVE DRAWING SESSIONS HOSTED ON INSTAGRAM LIVE, VISITS TO THE NEWLY LAUNCHED BLOOMBERG CONNECTS DIGITAL GUIDE, CURATORIAL WALKTHROUGHS AND LECTURES, AND FAMILY-ORIENTED DRAWING ACTIVITIES. ON OCTOBER 7, 2020, THE DRAWING CENTER REOPENED ITS GALLERIES TO THE PUBLIC WITH "100 DRAWINGS FROM NOW," AN EXHIBITION THAT PROVIDED VISITORS WITH A SNAPSHOT OF ARTISTIC PRODUCTION DURING A PERIOD OF PROFOUND GLOBAL UNREST. TOGETHER, THE WORKS IN THE EXHIBITION SPOTLIGHTED THE URGENCY, INTIMACY, AND UNIVERSALITY OF DRAWING DURING MOMENTS OF UPHEAVAL AND ISOLATION. A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT OF THE EXHIBITION WAS ITS DIGITAL PRESENCE. THROUGHOUT THE RUN OF THE SHOW, THE DRAWING CENTER CONTINUED TO OFFER A ROBUST PROGRAM OF VIRTUAL PUBLIC PROGRAMS, INCLUDING VIRTUAL CURATORIAL WALKTHROUGHS, ARTIST TALKS AND PANEL DISCUSSIONS, AS WELL AS ADULT AND FAMILY-FRIENDLY DRAWING WORKSHOPS. A DIGITAL GUIDE, LAUNCHED IN COLLABORATION WITH BLOOMBERG CONNECTS, ALLOWED THE EXHIBITION TO BE EXPLORED REMOTELY, WITH ARTWORK VIEWS, AUDIO GUIDES, AND EDUCATIONAL DRAWING ACTIVITIES. THE EXHIBITION WAS ACCOMPANIED BY VOLUME 143 OF THE DRAWING CENTER'S ONGOING PUBLICATION SERIES, "DRAWING PAPERS," WHICH FEATURED ARTWORKS FROM EACH ARTIST, AS WELL AS CURATORIAL ESSAYS. AS ALWAYS WITH THE DRAWING PAPERS SERIES, THE PUBLICATION WAS MADE AVAILABLE ONLINE TO READ FREE OF CHARGE. THESE ONLINE PUBLICATIONS ARE ONE OF THE DRAWING CENTER'S MOST POPULAR EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES, ACCESSED BY STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE. IN FALL 2020 THE DRAWING CENTER ANNOUNCED VIEWING PROGRAM 20/21, A NEW INITIATIVE THAT BUILT UPON THE ORGANIZATION'S FORTY-YEAR HISTORY OF OFFERING OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPORT TO CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS FOR WHOM DRAWING IS A CENTRAL COMPONENT OF THEIR PRACTICE. VIEWING PROGRAM 20/21 OFFERED SIXTY PARTICIPATING ARTISTS MENTORSHIP IN THE FORM OF VIRTUAL STUDIO VISITS BY THE DRAWING CENTER'S ARTIST IN RESIDENCE, LISA SIGAL, AND PORTFOLIO REVIEWS BY THE DRAWING CENTER'S CURATORIAL TEAM. FROM THIS POOL OF SIXTY ARTISTS, SIX WERE SELECTED BY THE DRAWING CENTER'S CURATORS TO HOST AN ONLINE PUBLIC PROGRAM CENTERED ON A SINGLE DRAWING. VIEWING PROGRAM 20/21 CONTINUED THE DRAWING CENTER'S LONGSTANDING SUPPORT OF CONTEMPORARY DRAWING PRACTICES AND PRACTITIONERS. IN 1977 THE ORGANIZATION INITIATED ITS ORIGINAL VIEWING PROGRAM, IN WHICH ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE SUBMITTED THEIR PORTFOLIOS TO THE DRAWING CENTER'S ARTIST IN RESIDENCE, AND WERE CONSIDERED FOR INCLUSION IN SELECTIONS, AN EXHIBITION SERIES THAT FEATURED DRAWINGS BY EMERGING TALENTS. IN 2013, THE DRAWING CENTER INITIATED OPEN SESSIONS, A RESIDENCY PROGRAM THAT PROVIDED ARTISTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN AN ONGOING DIALOGUE WITH THEIR PEERS THROUGH PUBLIC EVENTS AND EXHIBITIONS. MANY ARTISTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THESE PROGRAMS HAVE SINCE MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FIELD OF CONTEMPORARY ART, INCLUDING ZOE BELOFF, BERLINDE DE BRUYCKERE, LIZ COLLINS, DANIELLE DEAN, MARCEL DZAMA, KATHARINA GROSSE, STEFFANI JEMISON, GUADALUPE MARAVILLA, HAROLD MENDEZ, JULIE MEHRETU, RONNY QUEVEDO, JOHANNA UNZUETA, RODRIGO VALENZUEAL, AND ERWIN WURM. IN WINTER 2021, THE DRAWING CENTER OPENED TWO CONCURRENT EXHIBITIONS: "DAVID HAMMONS: BODY PRINTS, 1968-1979"EBECHO MUSLIMOVA: SCENES FROM THE SUBLEVEL". A LANDMARK EXHIBITION, "DAVID HAMMONS: BODY PRINTS, 1968-1979" WAS THE FIRST MUSEUM PRESENTATION DEDICATED TO THE ARTIST'S GROUNDBREAKING WORKS ON PAPER. HAMMONS'S BODY PRINTS REPRESENT THE ORIGIN OF HIS ARTISTIC LANGUAGE, ONE THAT HAS DEVELOPED OVER A LONG AND CONTINUING CAREER AND THAT EMPHASIZES BOTH THE ARTIFACTS AND SUBJECTS OF CONTEMPORARY BLACK LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES.THE EXHIBITION WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A RANGE OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS INCLUDING THE ONGOING SERIES OF MULTILINGUAL DRAWING WORKSHOPS DIBUJOAHORA AND ASL DRAWNOW, AS WELL AS A TWO-PART DRAWING WORKSHOP PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STUDIO MUSEUM IN HARLEM. EACH OF THESE PUBLIC PROGRAMS WERE HOSTED ONLINE, RECORDED AND POSTED TO THE DRAWING CENTER WEBSITE SO THAT THEY COULD BE EASILY ACCESSED BY NEW AUDIENCES-MOST SIGNIFICANTLY, PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE DRAWING CENTER'S LOCAL NEW YORK COMMUNITY. "SCENES FROM THE SUBLEVEL" WAS ARTIST EBECHO MUSLIMOVA'S FIRST SOLO MUSEUM EXHIBITION AND OCCUPIED THE DRAWING CENTER'S LOWER-LEVEL GALLERY. A SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATION OF LARGE-SCALE DRAWING PANELS, THE EXHIBITION EXPLORED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEMORY AND NARRATIVE, THE CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS. IN MAY 2021, THE DRAWING CENTER LAUNCHED ITS FIRST VIRTUAL EXHIBITION, "DRAWING OUT," WHICH FEATURED DRAWINGS MADE BY ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE DRAWING CENTER'S 2021 ONLINE EDUCATION PROGRAMS: DRAWING CONNECTIONS AND DRAWNOW! ONLINE! WITH TEEN ART SALON. SERVING STUDENTS BOTH LOCALLY IN NEW YORK CITY AND GLOBALLY VIA A NEW VIRTUAL FORMAT, THESE ONLINE EDUCATION OFFERINGS ENCOURAGED YOUNG PEOPLE TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN ARTISTIC PRACTICES AND EXAMINE DRAWING'S ROLE IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE AND CREATIVE THOUGHT. THROUGH ITS LONG-STANDING DRAWING CONNECTIONS PROGRAM, THE DRAWING CENTER PARTNERS ANNUALLY WITH NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH AN IN-DEPTH VISUAL ART EXPERIENCE FOCUSED ON THE MEDIUM OF DRAWING. IN THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR THE DRAWING CENTER, ALONG WITH TEACHING ARTISTS EZRA WUBE AND NIC ANNETTE MILLER, PARTNERED WITH P.S. 42 BENJAMIN ALTMAN SCHOOL AND LEXINGTON SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF TO PRODUCE REMOTE PROJECTS INSPIRED BY RECENT EXHIBITIONS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A CONT. THROUGH PROGRAMS LIKE DRAWING CONNECTIONS, THE DRAWING CENTER SERVES AN EVER-EXPANDING CORE AUDIENCE OF STUDENTS, EDUCATORS, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AS WELL AS TARGETED AUDIENCES WHO DON'T NORMALLY HAVE EASY ACCESS TO ARTS INSTITUTIONS. THESE INCLUDE K-12 PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE FIVE BOROUGHS OF NYC; AT RISK AND AT PROMISE TEENS; MEMBERS OF SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING THOSE IN ELDERCARE; DEAF AND HARD-OF-HEARING AUDIENCES; AND PARTICIPANTS FOR WHOM ENGLISH IS A SECOND LANGUAGE. TO BEST SERVE THESE AUDIENCES, THE DRAWING CENTER HAS PRODUCED AN AMBITIOUS ROSTER OF EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDES WORKSHOPS FOR K-12 STUDENTS; HANDS-ON, ARTIST-LED DRAWING WORKSHOPS FOR ALL AGES AND ABILITIES; AND TAILORED TOURS AND PROGRAMS FOR COMMUNITY GROUPS. THE DRAWING CENTER ALSO OFFERS OFF-SITE PUBLIC DRAWING WORKSHOPS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION STREET LAB; GUIDED TOURS FOR ADULT AND UNIVERSITY GROUPS; AND A ROBUST INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. ON VIEW FROM JUNE 11 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 19, 2021, "HUGUETTE CALAND: TTE--TTE" WAS THE LEBANESE ARTIST'S MOST COMPREHENSIVE SOLO MUSEUM EXHIBITION IN THE UNITED STATES TO DATE. CHARTING CALAND'S UNORTHODOX PATH TO ARTISTIC SUCCESS, THE EXHIBITION SPANNED HER FIVE-DECADE CAREER AND FEATURED OVER 100 WORKS ON PAPER AND CANVAS, AS WELL AS CAFTANS, SCULPTURES, AND NOTEBOOKS ON AND IN WHICH SHE WIELDED HER PEN. "TTE--TTE" CELEBRATED CALAND'S UNCONVENTIONAL AND EXUBERANT PERSPECTIVE ON BOTH LIFE AND ART, AND SURVEYED HOW SHE USED THE MEDIUM OF DRAWING THROUGHOUT HER CAREER TO CHALLENGE TRADITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS OF SEXUALITY, THE BODY, AND DESIRE. TOGETHER, THE DRAWING CENTER'S FAR-REACHING EXHIBITIONS, PROGRAMS, AND EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES ENCOURAGE AUDIENCES TO EXAMINE DRAWING'S ROLE IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE, THE FUTURE OF ART, AND CREATIVE THOUGHT.
