2021 saw the return, after a four-year hiatus, of the Scottish Drawing Competition. From 217 entries from all over Scotland, 181 works were chosen demonstrating an extraordinary variety of styles, form, medium, and skill. The work was shown in a new gallery space called Artspace37 within The Piazza Shopping centre. Over 4 weeks 1200 or so visitors emerged from lockdown to view the work. Many of the artists exhibiting had created work as a specific response to social lockdown due to Covid-19.
