The exhibition features 48 works. These works were selected by the 2009 juror, Carmon Colangelo, Dean of Fine Art, at Washington University, St. Louis. These 48 images by 28 artists were chosen from 365 images entered by 126 artists from across the US. This exhibition highlights the most current thinking and technical applications among artists utilizing drawing and printmaking processes. The works included in this exhibition also expand upon the 2009 Clemson University Presidential Colloquium, Principles and Perspectives in Progress.
The Clemson National Print and Drawing Exhibition originated in 1983 when Tom Dimond, Lee Gallery director and Professor Syd Cross collaborated to organize the first ever national juried exhibition at Clemson University. Nancy Hoffman, from Nancy Hoffman Gallery in New York, was the first juror. Since then the biennial event has enjoyed jurors such as Ned Rifkin, Howard Fox, Ken Tyler, Terence Le Noue, Eleanor Heartney and Hugh Merril. The Clemson National Print and Drawing Exhibition has a mission of identifying and exhibiting current work from artists across the nation.
