WILLIAMSBURG, VA.- The Muscarelle Museum of Art presents American Drawing Biennial 8, on view through August 14, 2005. Once again the Muscarelle Museum of Art isl sponsoring the American Drawing Biennial. This is the eighth biennial organized by the Museum. Originally the American Drawing Biennial 8 was scheduled for the summer of 2002 but because of the uncertainty of the Museum’s future at that time the exhibition was cancelled. Now that that unhappy time is behind us, the exhibition has been rescheduled for this summer.

The American Drawing Biennial 8 is a nationwide competitive juried exhibition. The juror this year is Phyllis Rosenzweig, curator of works on paper at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC, a Smithsonian institution. Ms. Rosenzweig earned her graduate degree in art history from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, and has been affiliated with the Hirshhorn Museum since 1971 where she has organized exhibitions of the work of Gabriel Orozco, Kiki Smith, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Eakins, and Sol LeWitt among others.
