The Centre was established to provide a site in London for the display of drawings free from the commercial concerns that pervade the London art scene and to provide a context for drawing that could also exist beyond the demands of the fine arts. A basic faith in the humanist value of drawing drives the activity of C4RD, hence its emphasis on recent rather than the more commercially regulated 'contemporary'. As a centre it operates as a node of activity between the artist's studio, the art college, the school, therapeutic or architectural practice and the public, to provide experience in exhibition and curatorship, to add focus to a college programme and to share the experience of drawing.
