Drawing is where art begins! This beginners' course will introduce students to foundational tools and techniques designed to build your drawing skills and inspire your creativity. In the first half of the course, we will experiment with graphite, charcoal, chalk pastel, and ink while simultaneously honing our skills in drawing from observation. In the second half of the course, we will build on and practice these skills with activities and projects designed to help you tap into your own expressive styles. This course is perfect for beginning drawing students as well as artists looking to reacquaint themselves with the basics. Material will be provided for this class.

Renaming the Black Box Theater

In case you missed the big announcement – We’re thrilled to announce that between now and WCT’s 40th Anniversary next fall, all contributions to MCA’s Capital Campaign up to $100,000 will be matched dollar for dollar to name our Black Box Theater in honor of Dinah Lane, through the generosity of anonymous donors.  The matching pledge runs until the end of 2023, and the dedication to Dinah is being planned for WCT’s 40th Anniversary in the fall of 2023!
