FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A FOUNDED IN 1977 BY MARTHA BECK (1938-2014), THE DRAWING CENTER STARTED AS A WAY TO EXHIBIT ART BY LIVING ARTISTS IN THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD, AS WELL AS TO ADVANCE A MEDIUM THAT BECK VIEWED AS BROADLY OVERLOOKED. FIRST HOUSED IN A GROUND-FLOOR WAREHOUSE SPACE AT 137 GREENE STREET, THE DRAWING CENTER MOVED TO ITS PRESENT LOCATION, AROUND THE CORNER AT 35 WOOSTER STREET IN 1987. THE IMPACT ON THE MEDIUM THAT THE DRAWING CENTER HAS HAD OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS IS CLEAR. DRAWING HAS TAKEN ITS PLACE AS A CENTRAL AND RESPECTED ART FORM, WITH INSTITUTIONS AND GALLERIES ACROSS THE GLOBE. IT IS THE SUBJECT OF MAJOR EXHIBITIONS THAT CONFIRM ITS ARTISTIC IMPORTANCE AND COMMERCIAL VIABILITY. THIS SHIFT IN THE FIELD HAS ALLOWED THE DRAWING CENTER TO RETHINK ITS MISSION, MOVING AWAY FROM A MORE DEFENSIVE STANCE ABOUT DRAWING-THAT IT IS LEGITIMATE, IMPORTANT, AND VALUABLE-TO A MORE EXPANSIVE AND POSITIVE EXPLORATION OF HOW DRAWING OPERATES IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE. THIS NEW INSTITUTIONAL APPROACH HAS BEEN POPULAR WITH GENERAL AUDIENCES AND THE FIELD IN GENERAL, AND THE DRAWING CENTER IS SEEING INCREASED ANNUAL ATTENDANCE FIGURES AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BROADER BASE OF SUPPORTERS. ON VIEW JUNE 2 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 10, 2023, A GREATER BEAUTY: THE DRAWINGS OF KAHLIL GIBRAN FEATURED OVER ONE HUNDRED DRAWINGS BY THE PROLIFIC LEBANESE-AMERICAN ARTIST, POET AND ESSAYIST, AND COINCIDED WITH THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF GIBRAN'S WORLD-RENOWNED PUBLICATION THE PROPHET. THOUGH BEST KNOWN FOR HIS POETRY AND PROSE, GIBRAN VIEWED HIMSELF EQUALLY AS A VISUAL ARTIST, PRODUCING PAINTINGS, WATERCOLORS, SKETCHES, ILLUSTRATIONS, BOOK COVERS, AND OTHER MATERIAL AS A COMPLEMENT TO HIS WRITTEN WORK. A GREATER BEAUTY PRESENTED AN OVERVIEW OF GIBRAN'S DRAWINGS AND SKETCHES ALONGSIDE MANUSCRIPT PAGES, NOTEBOOKS, CORRESPONDENCE, MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATIONS AND ESSAYS, ANDFIRST EDITIONS, PROVIDING A GLIMPSE INTO THE ARTIST'S PRODUCTION IN THE CONTEXT OF HIS WORK AS A WHOLE. ARTIST NAUDLINE PIERRE HARNESSES THE POWER OF SPIRITUAL ICONOGRAPHY AND TRANSCENDENTAL MOTIFS IN HER LAYERED WASH DRAWINGS AND RICHLY-HUED PAINTINGS TO CREATE FICTIONAL WORLDS ROOTED IN A MYTHOLOGY OF HER OWN MAKING. IN HER EXHIBITION THIS IS NOT ALL THERE IS-PRESENTED CONCURRENTLY WITH THE EXHIBITION A GREATER BEAUTY: THE DRAWINGS OF KAHLIL GIBRAN-PIERRE CONTINUED HER EXPLORATION OF IMAGINED WORLDS, INCORPORATING DRAWINGS LARGE AND SMALL ALONGSIDE AND WITHIN SCULPTURAL ELEMENTS TO CREATE AN IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT. IN SUMMER 2023, THE DRAWING CENTER PRESENTED DRAWING OUT, AN EXHIBITION FEATURING DRAWINGS MADE BY ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE DRAWING CENTER'S 2023-2024 EDUCATION PROGRAMS: DRAWING CONNECTIONS AND DRAWING ALL STARS 2.0 WITH TEEN ART SALON. SERVING STUDENTS LOCALLY IN NEW YORK CITY, OUR EDUCATION OFFERINGS ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN ARTISTIC PRACTICES AND EXAMINE DRAWING'S ROLE IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE AND CREATIVE THOUGHT. IN OCTOBER 2023, THE DRAWING CENTER PARTNERED WITH ARION PRESS, ONE OF THE NATION'S LEADING PUBLISHERS OF FINE PRESS ARTIST BOOKS, TO PRESENT A SPECIAL TWO-WEEK POP-UP AT 35 WOOSTER STREET. FOUNDED IN SAN FRANCISCO IN 1974, ARION PAIRS VISUAL ARTISTS WITH CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY TEXTS TO CREATE LIMITED-EDITION, HANDMADE BOOKS PRINTED BY LETTERPRESS AND ILLUSTRATED WITH ORIGINAL PRINTS AND DRAWINGS. A SELECTION OF ARION'S LIMITED EDITIONS WERE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE IN THE DRAWING CENTER'S BOOKSTORE, INCLUDING PORGY & BESS WITH LITHOGRAPHS BY KARA WALKER, THE LULU PLAYS WITH DRAWINGS BY WILLIAM KENTRIDGE, JIM THOMPSON'S SOUTH OF HEAVEN WITH DRAWINGS BY RAYMOND PETTIBON, MACHADO DE ASSIS'S THE ALIENIST WITH PRINTS BY CARROLL DUNHAM, AND POETRY OF SAPPHO WITH PRINTS BY JULIE MEHRETU. FROM NOVEMBER 10, 2023 - FEBRUARY 18, 2024, THE DRAWING CENTER WAS THRILLED TO PRESENT STPHANE MANDELBAUM. RAISED IN A JEWISH HOUSEHOLD IMPACTED BY THE HOLOCAUST, MANDELBAUM SOUGHT TO CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF HIS SUBJECT'S CHARACTERS WITH A BALLPOINT PEN, GRAPHITE, AND COLORED PENCIL, OFTEN ADDING COLLAGED MAGAZINE CLIPPINGS, SCRIBBLES, LISTS, AND TEXT IN FRENCH, ITALIAN, GERMAN, AND YIDDISH, A LANGUAGE THAT THE ARTIST HAD TAUGHT TO HIMSELF. AS A PRECOCIOUS AND SKILLFUL DRAFTSMAN, MANDELBAUM USED HIS ARTISTRY TO PROBE THE DEPTHS OF HIS OWN PERSONA BY CONJURING SOME OF THE DARKEST VISAGES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY IN EUROPE. AS A GRANDSON OF SURVIVORS, ON THE OTHER HAND, HE ENDEAVORED TO EXPLORE HIS IDENTITY AND CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF A DEVASTATING HISTORY THROUGH IMAGES THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD PREFER TO AVOID. STPHANE MANDELBAUM MARKED THE FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION OF THE EPONYMOUS BELGIAN ARTIST'S DRAWINGS IN THE UNITED STATES, FEATURING MORE THAN 60 WORKS ON PAPER, INCLUDING 16 LARGE-SCALE PORTRAITS. JOAN JONAS: ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL, ON VIEW MARCH 6 - JUNE 2, 2024, WAS THEFIRST MAJOR RETROSPECTIVE FOCUSED ON WORKS ON PAPER BY JOAN JONAS, ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EXPERIMENTAL VOICES IN AMERICAN ART OF THE POSTWAR PERIOD. THIS EXHIBITION WAS A DEFINITIVE LOOK AT THE INTEGRAL PLACE OF DRAWING IN THE CAREER OF THIS PIONEERING ARTIST. ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL OCCUPIED THE ENTIRETY OF THE DRAWING CENTER'S GALLERY SPACES AND FEATURED MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED INDIVIDUAL DRAWINGS DATING FROM THE 1960S TO THE PRESENT AS WELL AS A RECENT DRAWING ENVIRONMENT. CHOSEN FROM MORE THAN 2,000 WORKS ON PAPER DRAWN BY JONAS OVER A SIXTY-YEAR PERIOD, ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL EXAMINED THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ARTIST'S USE OF THE MEDIUM OF DRAWING AS A RECORDING DEVICE, AN EXPRESSION OF THE NOTION OF PROCESS, AND A WAY TO BRING IMAGERY OF THE NATURAL WORLD INTO HER PERFORMANCES AND ENVIRONMENTS. IN JUNE 2024, THE DRAWING CENTER WAS PLEASED TO PRESENT FRANK WALTER: TO CAPTURE A SOUL, THE FIRST SOLO MUSEUM EXHIBITION IN THE UNITED STATES TO FOCUS ON THE WORK OF ANTIGUAN ARTIST FRANK WALTER (1926-2009). A POLYMATH WITH A KEEN INTELLECT AND THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE, WALTER CREATED A BODY OF WORK THAT ENCOMPASSES A VARIETY OF MEDIUMS, SUBJECT MATTER, AND STYLES. DURING HIS LIFETIME WALTER PRODUCED OVER 5,000 PAINTINGS, 1,000 DRAWINGS, 600 SCULPTURES, 2,000 PHOTOGRAPHS, 468 HOURS OF RECORDINGS, AND A 50,000-PAGE ARCHIVE. ORGANIZED BY THE DRAWING CENTER'S CHIEF CURATOR CLAIRE GILMAN, TO CAPTURE A SOUL PROVIDES INSIGHT INTO NOT ONLY WALTER'S ARTISTIC PRACTICE BUT ALSO HIS RELATIONSHIP TO ISSUES OF RACE AND IDENTITY, THE LEGACY OF SLAVERY, THE COLONIAL AND POSTCOLONIAL EXPERIENCE, AND THE HISTORY AND POLITICS OF ANTIGUA, BARBUDA, AND BEYOND. ON THE OCCASION OF FRANK WALTER: TO CAPTURE A SOUL, THE DRAWING CENTER PRESENTED JOSH SMITH: LIFE DRAWING, THE FIRST EXHIBITION OF DRAWINGS BY ACCLAIMED CONTEMPORARY ARTIST JOSH SMITH. JOSH SMITH: LIFE DRAWING IS THE ARTIST'S HOMAGE TO ANTIGUAN ARTIST FRANK WALTER, A TESTAMENT TO A SHARED COMMITMENT TO APPROACHING THEIR SUBJECTS WITH HONESTY, CURIOSITY AND HUMBLE DEDICATION. THE EXHIBITION INCLUDED APPROXIMATELY THIRTY DRAWINGS BY SMITH SPANNING THE ARTIST'S CAREER. KNOWN FOR HIS VIBRANT PAINTINGS AND PRINTS RANGING FROM ABSTRACTIONS TO SUBJECTS SUCH AS LEAVES, FISH, BIRDS, "GRIM REAPERS", AND PALM TREES, SMITH HAS ALSO BEEN MAKING SIMPLE PEN AND PENCIL SKETCHES OF THESE SUBJECTS FOR MORE THAN TWO DECADES. WE WERE THRILLED TO CONTINUE OUR EXPANSION OF OUR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS THROUGH OUR EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS IN FY24, WITH APPROXIMATELY 1,500 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANTS ENGAGING WITH OUR PUBLIC EXHIBITION-BASED PROGRAMS, ARTIST/CURATOR CONVERSATIONS, DRAWING WORKSHOPS, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, AND GROUP TOURS. OUR SCHOOL PROGRAMS SERVED APPROXIMATELY 1,800 K-12 PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS, INCLUDING 25 STUDENTS FROM PS 42 BENJAMIN ALTMAN SCHOOL; 25 STUDENTS FROM CHELSEA CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION HIGH SCHOOL; 25 MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM THE LEXINGTON SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF; AND 25 STUDENTS FROM PS 347 THE AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE & ENGLISH LOWER SCHOOL. OUR ONGOING LANGUAGE ACCESS INITIATIVE PROVIDED 15 DRAWING WORKSHOP PROGRAMS TO DEAF AUDIENCES AND SPANISH LANGUAGE SPEAKERS. THE DRAWING CENTER'S PUBLICATION PROGRAM ENABLES THE PRODUCTION OF IMPORTANT AND INFLUENTIAL NEW SCHOLARSHIP ON DRAWING. ALL EXHIBITIONS ARE ACCOMPANIED BY AN EDITION OF DRAWING PAPERS, AN AFFORDABLY PRICED PUBLICATION THAT ATTRACTS A WIDE AUDIENCE, FROM STUDENTS AND FELLOW ARTISTS TO CRITICS, COLLECTORS, AND SCHOLARS. DRAWING PAPERS INCLUDE REPRODUCTIONS OF ARTISTS' WORKS, ARTIST STATEMENTS, COMMISSIONED ESSAYS, AND INTERPRETIVE TEXTS. DRAWING PAPERS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT THE DRAWING CENTER'S ONSITE AND ONLINE BOOKSTORES, AND IN COMMERCIAL BOOKSTORES (D.A.P. | DISTRIBUTED ART PUBLISHERS DISTRIBUTE ALMOST ALL OF THESE PUBLICATIONS). THE DRAWING CENTER PARTNERS WITH THE ONLINE PUBLISHER ISSUU.COM TO OFFER ALL 140+ OF ITS PUBLICATIONS IN A READABLE FORMAT FOR FREE ONLINE (TO DATE, MORE THAN 2 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE READ OUR PUBLICATIONS ONLINE). FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A CONT. IN FY24, WE PUBLISHED IN-HOUSE DRAWING PAPERS PUBLICATIONS AROUND STPHANE MANDELBAUM AND FRANK WALTER: TO CAPTURE A SOUL. EACH PUBLICATION FEATURES FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE ARTWORKS INCLUDED IN THE EXHIBITIONS, ALONG WITH ESSAYS BY TDC CURATORS, ARTISTS, AND SCHOLARS. IN CONJUNCTION WITH JOAN JONAS: ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL, THE DRAWING CENTER CO-PUBLISHED AN EXHIBITION CATALOG WITH DABA, A PRESS FOUNDED IN 2021 BY ARTIST ADAM PENDLETON FOR ARTIST'S BOOKS, BOOKS ON ART, EXPERIMENTAL WRITING AND VISUAL POETRY. THE JOAN JONAS: ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL EXHIBITION PUBLICATION EXAMINES SEVERAL DECADES OF JOAN JONAS' DRAWING PRACTICE, PRESENTED IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, AND INCLUDES 154 FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE ARTWORKS FEATURED IN THE PRESENTATION FROM THE 1960S TO THE PRESENT, ACCOMPANIED BY OVER 150 FULL-COLOR PAST INSTALLATION, PERFORMANCE AND FILM STILL IMAGES FROM THE ARTIST'S NOTABLE PERFORMANCES AND EXHIBITIONS. THE DRAWING CENTER PRESENTS A VARIETY OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS, INCLUDING GALLERY TALKS, LECTURES, READINGS, PERFORMANCES, AND PANELS THAT PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE WORK ON VIEW IN OUR EXHIBITIONS. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, OUR ORGANIZATION HAS HAD TO RE-ENVISION ITS ROLE AS AN INSTITUTION WITHIN THE CULTURAL ECOSYSTEM OF NEW YORK CITY WHILE STAYING TRUE TO OUR MISSION AT THE NEXUS OF DRAWING AND CONTEMPORARY IDEAS. SPECIFICALLY, THIS TIME HAS ALLOWED US TO REIMAGINE HOW TO BEST VIRTUALLY CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER, OUR LARGER COMMUNITY, AND WITH ART AND ARTISTS. THANKS TO OUR ROBUST NEW SERIES OF ONLINE PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDES THE PARTICIPATION OF TDC CURATORS AND STAFF, ARTISTS AND OUTSIDE EXPERTS, OUR ORGANIZATION IS NOW REACHING MORE PEOPLE IN MORE PLACES THAN EVER BEFORE. IN FY24, THE DRAWING CENTER ORGANIZED PUBLIC PROGRAMS TO ACCOMPANY STPHANE MANDELBAUM; JOAN JONAS: ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL; FRANK WALTER: TO CAPTURE A SOUL, AND JOSH SMITH: LIFE DRAWING. THESE PROGRAMS ENGAGED CLOSE TO 1,500 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANTS AND FEATURED THE PARTICIPATION OF ARTISTS, WRITERS, AND CRITICS INCLUDING: DANIEL TERNA, CATHY CARUTH, BENJAMIN BUCHLOH, LEAH DICKERMAN, DEBBIE MEYER, SHIRIN NESHAT, ADAM PENDLETON, AND BARBARA PACA, AMONG OTHERS. SELECT PROGRAMS WERE RECORDED AND MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL FUTURE AUDIENCES TO VIEW, FOR FREE, THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. OTHER PUBLIC PROGRAMS INCLUDE ARTIST CONVERSATIONS, AND TDC'S POPULAR DRAWNOW! WORKSHOP SERIES. THE DRAWING CENTER'S EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS ARE ALL OVERSEEN BY AIMEE GOOD, DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS. GOOD HAS BUILT THE ORGANIZATION'S EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING FROM THE GROUND UP, AND TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO EVOLVE OUR INSTITUTION INTO A MORE INCLUSIVE AND ENGAGING PLACE FOR INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES AND BACKGROUNDS. THIS YEAR, WE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY SERVED IN-PERSON AUDIENCES (PRIMARILY NYC PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS), WHILE STILL OFFERING SEVERAL TARGETED ONLINE PROGRAMS FOR UNDERSERVED AUDIENCES (SUCH AS THE DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING COMMUNITY). WE CONTINUED TO FORGE MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH A NUMBER OF NOTEWORTHY COMMUNITY PARTNERS WORKING AT THE INTERSECTION OF ART, EDUCATION, AND EQUITY. IN FY24, WE SERVED APPROXIMATELY 3,750 INDIVIDUALS INCLUDING STUDENTS, TEACHERS, FAMILIES, AND ARTISTS. TDC'S EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS ARE CENTRAL TO OUR MISSION, AND UNIQUE AMONG SMALL NONPROFIT ART SPACES IN NEW YORK. WE OFFER A RANGE OF ON AND OFF-SITE PROGRAMS, INCLUDING D.R.A.W.
