Friday, July 12:

Drawing Connections: 23rd Drawing Show - Opening Reception
Mills Gallery at the Boston Center for the Arts
551 Tremont St.
6-8 p.m.
FREE

Drawing Connections investigates the relationships between traditional and contemporary approaches to the act of drawing as both a singular and interdisciplinary medium, from the simple yet elegant shorthand of painters and sculptors to the elaborate brainstorming of collaborative event-based artists.

In embracing the traditional “work on paper” side of drawing, Drawing Connections explores the edgy, contemporary application of this approach and seeks the conceptual content and experimentation that this primary, flexible medium provides for today’s working artists.
