Classes and studio space are available to people of any age and made affordable to all through grant-funded scholarships and community donations.
Our programs
Workshops
Art instruction and practice in a studio environment provide a safe place for engagement. Workshops at The D.R.A.W. studio are places where active questioning, nonjudgmental exploration, validation of responses and freedom to play, make mistakes and follow your own learning and creative styles are celebrated.
Studio Space
Our studio and equipment are available for class and workshop participants, as well as for youths, artists, hobbyists and educators, in exchange for teaching or volunteer hours or as a rental, residency or workshare.
Exhibitions
Through an active schedule of exhibitions, ranging from student work to that of professional artists, The D.R.A.W. expands its activities beyond the studio and into the public to be shared and discussed with fellow artists, teachers and the community at large.
Internships
Since its inception, The D.R.A.W. has been home to PUGG, or the Pop-Up Gallery Group, and continues to expand its opportunities for youth workforce development. The D.R.A.W. provides teens and young adults with paid after-school internships that include training in arts management, arts education, entrepreneurship, nonprofit management, communications and more.
