Menil Drawing Institute Program
The Menil Drawing Institute program was established in 2008 in recognition of drawing’s centrality in the lives of artists and its crucial role in modern and contemporary artistic culture.
An integral part of the Menil Collection, the program aims to foster scholarship and the public appreciation of drawing as an art form. An annual site-specific commission, the
Wall Drawing Series,
began in 2018 as part of the Menil’s commitment to exploring new approaches to the form and language of drawing.
The Drawing Institute has an international profile as an important center for the collection, display, study, conservation, and storage of modern and contemporary drawings.
The Menil’s drawing collection comprises some 3,000 works. The museum is actively expanding its holdings, focusing largely on 20th- and 21st-century drawing.
