The Santa Barbara community is invited to the VADA Draw – an evening of art, food, beverages, music and socializing, highlighted by an art raffle that guarantees every guest leaves the event with a piece of art in hand.

The fundraiser for Santa Barbara High School’s Visual Arts and Design Academy (VADA) will be 7-10 p.m. Saturday, March 15 at the Community Arts Workshop, 631 Garden St.

Original artworks for the raffle have been donated by local and national professional artists. They are displayed during the event, offering an opportunity to view a variety of work and meet local artists, many of whom will attend the Draw.

This year’s event marks the 25th anniversary of the VADA program.

“At VADA, we not only foster the growth of individual artists but, together, we also create a vibrant community for artists of all backgrounds,” said Daniel Barnett, VADA director.

“Join us at the VADA Draw 2025 and help us continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of our talented students,” he said.

Tickets can be purchased at The VADA Draw | Visual Arts & Design Academy.

The VADA program at Santa Barbara High School integrates academic coursework with art instruction.
