The Drawing Studio

Imagine a world in which art and the creative spirit are fostered as cultural necessities. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit in Tucson, Arizona, that brings art and the benefits of creating art to the entire community. We offer affordable fee-based and free classes and workshops, host events and exhibits, and foster awareness of the positive effects of cr... eativity on individuals and the entire community. The Drawing Studio promotes learning as an engaging and creative experience. Art study and practice are holistic processes that increase observational skills, deepen understanding, enhance communication, and intensify interest in new ideas and experiences. Art practice supports well-being by integrating the powers of concentration, presence and awareness. A deepened ability to see connects us in new ways to our mental, physical, and spiritual lives. The sharing of ideas and skills within the supportive environment of The Drawing Studio creates collaborations and celebrates discovery, which in turn expands, nurtures, and unites our community. By embracing diversity of thought and participation, we weave the fabric of an evolving tapestry of life experiences, expressions, traditions, and innovations. We are grateful for a generous flow of financial support, sponsored gifts and friendship that sustains The Drawing Studio through time. We express our gratitude by giving to the community in the form of service, advocacy, and inspiration.Read More
