Drawing Room is the place to discover drawing. 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 a shop stocking selected books, drawing materials and artists’ editions. Our dynamic learning programme makes contemporary drawing relevant and accessible to our communities, encouraging self-expression through hands on making, in our dedicated Community Studio and throughout our local area.
Accessibility: Access to the Gallery, Library, Shop and Toilets are all step free and we have power assisted doors throughout our public spaces. Our staff are available to help with accessibility around the building where needed. We have accessible toilets with baby changing facilities, including a wipe clean changing mat.
You can borrow a manual wheelchair from us during your visit free of charge – just ask at reception or contact us in advance if you would like to reserve a wheelchair: rebecca@drawingroom.org.uk
