are a network of supporters that contribute to the dynamic nature of TDS. The Associates group is also the wellspring of volunteerism that supports so many TDS efforts, such as the docent program that staffs the office and the newly formed gallery committee. The funds provided by Associate fees are primarily used to finance our newsletter, support communications and other services to our Associates throughout the year, and also add to our scholarship fund.

The Drawing Studio is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation. Associate fees and contributions are tax deductible except for that portion taken as discounts. Your membership year begins on the date of first enrollment. Contributions beyond the enrollment fees are welcome. If no specific use is designated, the gift contribution will be placed in either our scholarship or capital growth fund.

Mary Croll is chair of our associate enrollment and activities. Please contact her through The Drawing Studio. We would enjoy hearing your observations and suggestions regarding the Associate program
