The Persistence of Hand Drawing: Interior Rendering Today Exhibit Opening

Join us for the opening reception of The Persistence of Hand Drawing: Interior Rendering Today on Thursday, September 19 at 6 pm, at the NYSID Gallery, 170 East 70th Street.

Explore the timeless art of hand-drawn interiors and celebrate the creativity and skill of contemporary architects and designers who continue to keep this tradition alive. Design historians and curators Donald Albrecht and Thomas Mellins draw on their own experience witnessing the rise of CAD in the design industry. Don't miss this free event with refreshments.

This exhibition focuses on hand drawings by 12 established and emerging New York-based architects and interior designers: Mita Corsini Bland, Marshall Brown, John and Christine Gachot, Elizabeth Graziolo, William Georgis of Georgis & Mirgorodsky, Nina Cooke John, Wendy Evans Joseph, Leyden Lewis, Hilary Sample and Michael Meredith/MOS, Gil Schafer with David Netto, Peter Pennoyer, and Douglas Wright. Drawings and design portfolios from the New York School of Interior Design Archives provide context for this contemporary work.
