We focus specifically on drawing as an autonomous medium. Contemporary drawing has acquired its own position in the art world over the past twenty years. The quality sometimes lies in the directness of drawing a line, but can also be found in technically elaborate drawings with great originality and expressiveness.
We start from drawing as an autonomous discipline and from this vision we will, where necessary, seek and stretch the limits of drawing with participants, always from the individual quality and need of the artist. All possibilities of drawing can be explored. Think for example of drawings in series, in book form or as a projection, wall drawings, drawings in installations and as part of performances. 

Mariette Linders,Marisa Rappard andArno Kramer are at the forefront of theDrawing Inventions Academy.Current supervisors are. Arno Kramer, Caren from Herwaarden and Marisa Rappard. They provide professional artists at the master's level with feedback.
