Highlighting a range of approaches to drawing during the past 20 years, this collection of 26 works on paper, many by RISD alumni, was built through the generosity of Paula Granoff HD 10 and Leonard Granoff. More than half of the works are on public display for the first time.

RISD began with just $1,675. In honor of that founding gift, we're hoping for 1,675 friends like you to help further the work of our founder, inspiring the artists, designers, creators, makers and dreamers who call RISD home today.
