London Open Weekend – 26 & 27 October 2024

On Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 October, Drawing Matter held its first open weekend in London, marking our move from Somerset. Over the weekend, the team welcomed over 1,000 visitors to the new archive space in Smart’s Place, Covent Garden.

The open weekend included an informal hang of drawings, including recent additions to the collection by Oscar Niemeyer, Claude Parent, Alison and Peter Smithson and Aldo and Hannie van Eyck.
