I was most honored by the invitation, but also felt it made a lot of sense to accept this partnership as it would help to expand several of Drawing Spaces missions which regarded, for example, work with international partners to collaborate and help fulfill similar missions related to contemporary drawing; find space to promote works on drawing by final year art students, giving them access to the possibility of internationalization and to the art market, promote the well established along with the emergent…
