Kentler International Drawing Space is a nonprofit venue in Brooklyn, New York, dedicated to broadening the scope of drawing and works on paper. It supports new, experimental, and innovative work by artists who are locally, nationally, or internationally active but under-recognized, presenting exhibitions with accompanying public programs. The organization was founded in 1990 by two artists, establishing a dedicated space for the field of drawing within the contemporary art landscape. As a small nonprofit operating within the artists and writers sector, the space focuses on exhibitions and public programs that surface under-explored drawing practices. Its mission centers on expanding the definition of drawing and work on paper by engaging artists who may lack broader recognition. Based in Brooklyn, it participates in the city’s network of experimental art spaces.
