Drawing Room Placement

Drawing Room is the place to discover drawing. We champion the unlimited potential of drawing to help us understand ourselves, each other and our world, through exhibitions, learning projects and a unique library.

Located in southeast London, our not-for-profit organisation features a gallery presenting inspiring free exhibitions of drawings, by artists of international standing and emerging promise. We have a unique open access research library, holding one of the largest collections of titles on contemporary drawing in the world, and our dynamic learning programme makes contemporary drawing relevant and accessible to our communities. Our exhibitions, research and learning activities, together with talks, artist-led projects, special commissions and other events, nurture artistic talent through supporting the production of new work and share the diversity of drawing with an ever-widening audience.

Drawing Room offers placements of a minimum of two days per week over a minimum of 3 months, providing an opportunity to work with the Co-directors researching the future programme, with the Study Librarian on the unique collection, with the exhibitions team on handling artworks and loan agreements, with the Engagement Team on our work with local communities, and with front of house, receiving visitors.

To apply, please send a CV and expression of interest - stating why you wish to undertake the placement and which of Drawing Room’s activities you are most interested in - to yamuna@drawingroom.org.uk.

There is no application deadline for this placement, which can commence at any point during the year.
