Now in its 30th year, the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize is widely regarded as the most prestigious open exhibition dedicated to drawing in the United Kingdom. Formerly known as the Jerwood Drawing Prize, the exhibition was shown at the Turnpike Gallery in 2017. The 2023 open call received over 3,000 submissions from 1,450 artists representing 40 countries.
