Teen volunteer exhibit coordinators

We LOVE our Volunteers!

The best way to get involved at TDS is by sharing your time and talents. There are always opportunities available, including front desk and special project assistance. This Fall we’re recruiting volunteers to help through all phases of our transition: organization, inventory, packing, unpacking, handy-person tasks, team leaders, and more.
Contact Nancy Chilton at volunteers@thedrawingstudio.org.

Got boxes? In order to streamline our upcoming move, we’ll soon begin packing some of our belongings. Let us know if you have standard book boxes to spare. Contact volunteers@thedrawingstudio.org.

Coming to a satellite near you.

Have you ever taken classes at any of our satellite locations? Did you know you can attend TDS’s brand new Beginning Stone Carving class at Metal Arts Village (midtown); express yourself in Pastel & Mixed Media at Casas Adobes Church (northwest); expand your skills in Portrait Drawing at the Junior League (Foothills); or explore Abstract Painting at Hummingbird House (Oro Valley)? Our popular Drawing Fundamentals classes happen at all these locations. We continue to have classes, workshops, and Open Figure Studio at our Downtown location.

Art of Summer Exhibit Opening Night

The Art of Summer Youth Exhibit is a testimony to inspiring teachers, creative, motivated young artists, and generous supporters of TDS. More youth classes begin Sundays this September.

(Note to Art of Summer parents: you can pick up art beginning Tuesday, September 2. Contact Tanya Rich at youth@thedrawingstudio.org.)

Our administrative office will be closed during the month of August. The downtown studios will remain open for scheduled ongoing classes and Open Figure Studio. We will maintain core communications, including course registration, through email and phone.
