    Drawing is one of the most fundamental forms of artmaking, with some of the earliest examples being the cave paintings in Lascaux, France from 30,000BCE. Drawing, since then, has evolved to become a powerful tool for artists to manifest their ideas into reality. WADA is committed to providing artists from all over Tampa Bay the resources necessary to sharpen this tool, hone their craft, and cultivate the artist community.

    The weekly Figure Drawing Lab is an opportunity that welcomes artists of all skill levels to practice with intention and work alongside professional artists. Space is limited, so when you register in advance, your place is guaranteed. The live models rotate weekly to keep the exercises varied and challenge the artists to improve each week.

    "Each drawing one makes is a step forward."

    -- Vincent Van Gogh

    The Warehouse Arts District Association (WADA) is proud to present a thought-provoking exhibition centered on the work of artist Ali Syverson.

    This exhibit is part of WADA’s ongoing commitment to bringing timely and meaningful local, regional, and national themes to our community — using art as a unique lens through which we can explore complex topics.
    Through a month-long exhibit and a series of educational events at the ArtsXchange, audiences are invited to engage with the history and evolving role of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Since 1961, USAID has played a key role in global development, humanitarian assistance, and U.S. foreign engagement.The Unraveling raises questions about what the future might look like without this agency and invites thoughtful dialogue on the broader implications for communities around the world. Artist Ali Syverson, alongside special guests, will guide conversations and events exploring how art can help us reflect on global systems, policy, and humanitarian impact.Join us as we consider what’s at stake — and how creative expression can foster deeper understanding and connection.

    Ali Syverson
