This exhibition includes drawings made by elementary and high school students who participated in The Drawing Center’s 2025 Michael Iovenko School Programs Drawing Connections and Drawing All-Stars with Teen Art Salon. In these education programs, young people develop their own artistic practices through discussion and skill-development workshops that examine drawing’s role in contemporary culture and creative thought, and use drawing as a tool for experimentation and innovation.
For this year’s Drawing Connections program, The Drawing Center partnered with New York City schools P.S. 42 The Benjamin Altman School, Lexington School for the Deaf, and Chelsea CTE High School. The cohort of ten New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellows in Drawing All-Stars are participating students from Bard High School Early College Queens, Brooklyn High School of the Arts, Chelsea CTE High School, Edward R. Murrow High School, Gramercy Arts High School, High School of Art and Design, John Bowne High School, and Pace High School.
Drawing Out projects on view are inspired by The Drawing Center’s recent exhibitions The Way I See It: Selections from the KAWS Collection, John Zorn: Hermetic Cartography, and Ericka Beckman: Power of the Spin. These programs are led by teaching artists Isabella Bustamante, Neal Flynn, Joyce Hom, Nic Annette Miller, Nzingah Oyo, Avani Patel, and Aneesa Razak in partnership with Aimee Good, The Drawing Center’s Director of Education and Community Programs.
