Over 200 artists generously donated a high quality, one-off A4 size drawing in support of The Drawing Room programme and its non-profit activities in our last fundraiser in May 2007. The drawings are exhibited for three weeks, culminating in an exciting silent auction event on the last night which attracts over 500 people, from established to new collectors, collector groups, art curators, gallery directors and artists. Bids are made by visiting the gallery, via phone or email and by attending the auction event.

Drawings by the following artists were included: David Austen, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Martin Creed, Richard Deacon, Jeremy Deller, Angus Fairhurst, Liam Gillick, Daria Martin, Julian Opie, John Stezaker, Mark Wallinger, Cerith Wyn Evans and many others.
