About the Artist

Where Art Meets Life

Founded in 1992 by artist Andrew Rush and a circle of friends, The Drawing Studio (TDS) has grown into a cornerstone of Tucson's creative community. From its earliest days, the nonprofit has been guided by the belief that art is essential to a thriving life and should be accessible to all.

The Drawing Studio's artistic journey mirrors the values it instills in students and teaching artists: curiosity, exploration, and the power of creativity to build connection. Through classes, workshops, exhibitions, outreach programs, and the annual Juneteenth Art Expo, TDS provides opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to develop their own art practice and discover the joy of making.

Its most enduring accomplishment is the vibrant community it has cultivated— today thousands of students, artists, and volunteers work collectively to sustain a culture of inclusivity, discovery, and lifelong learning. The Drawing Studio itself is an evolving work of art, dynamic, collaborative, and deeply rooted in Tucson.
