THE DRAWING ROOM 

Nearly two decades ago, The Drawing Room was but a specialist venue that revitalises work on paper. Today, it has expanded to different artistic formats attributed to the terrain of contemporary Filipino art.

The gallery features artists whose respective practices represent the country and depict the ensemble of realities that makes up a complex society. Aside from monthly exhibitions in Manila, The Drawing Room circulates its artists off-site shows in other spaces in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, Jakarta, New York, and Paris.
