Due to the ongoing threat of COVID-19, and out of an abundance of caution, The D.R.A.W. has indefinitely postponed classes at this time. While we regret having to take this pause in our programming, our first priority is the wellbeing of our community of staff, teaching artists and students. Our hope is to resume outstanding class sessions from the fall semester, and open registration for new classes, when it is safe to do so. We look forward to welcoming you back to The D.R.A.W. as soon as possible and we thank you for your ongoing support.
