The Artist Registry features slides and other images of recent works by 2,500 artists who have participated in the Viewing Program. Their work has been selected to be on file by The Drawing Center's curatorial committee. The Artist Registry is a public resource for contemporary drawing that is consulted by curators, gallerists, collectors, and art educators. Each file includes a resume, one sheet of slides, and an optional artist's statement and press clippings. All materials must be updated at least every two years to remain on file. In order to assist researchers, the files are catalogued alphabetically and cross-referenced by style and media.

Researchers who would like to access the Artist Registry can call The Drawing Center at 212-219-2166, ext. 203 for an appointment. Depending on the nature of the project, a program administrator can help create a customized reference list based on the researcher’s criteria.

Artists not chosen for inclusion in the Artist Registry are encouraged to periodically resubmit new bodies of work for consideration.

NOTE: We are currently in the process of converting the Viewing Program Slide Registry into an online registry. During this interim period, we are not accepting any new submissions or updates to the Viewing Program.

Please visit this site again in July 2007 for updated information on how to submit your work to the Viewing Program's online registry.
