VADA Draw offers an evening of art, food, beverages, music, and socializing. The event is highlighted by the “Draw,” an art raffle that guarantees every attendee leaves with a piece of art in hand.

Original art pieces for the raffle have been donated by local and national professional artists. The artworks are displayed during the event, allowing the community a time to view a variety of work and to meet local artists, many of whom will attend the Draw.

“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 VADA director Daniel Barnett. “Join us at the VADA Draw 2026 and help us continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of our talented students.”

Tickets can be purchased at https://www.vadasbhs.org/the-vada-draw.

The VADA program, which this year marks its 26th anniversary, integrates academic coursework with art instruction.

“In this environment, students who thrive when art is incorporated into learning find their creativity valued and their passion encouraged,” program organizers said.
