Draytons Arts has two main objectives:
- Our main objective is to create artwork that is creatively harmonious.
Additionally, we aim to enhance and support art classes, camps, and workshops for both children and adults that inspire imagination.
We also provide budget counseling for artists looking to start their own art business.
ARTIST VIEWPOINT
Theresa Angela's artwork draws inspiration from social, political, and cultural viewpoints, capturing the essence and experiences of Afrocentric culture through vivid colors, rhythm, and movement. Our themes frequently delve into women's relationships with men, concepts from the Harlem Renaissance, and the continuous evolution and natural spirit of life.
At Draytons Arts, community service through art is vital, emphasizing programs that tackle homelessness, domestic violence, and provide support for adults and children with special needs.

SUMMER AND YEAR ROUND CAMPS & CLASSES
We provided indoor activities filled with laughter. The Summer Visual Art Camp offered a diverse range of artistic experiences for children, including digital art, abstract expression, graffiti art, and lessons on art history featuring master artists. Children engaged in team exercises and had the freedom to unleash their creativity. I would like to thank the parents for allowing their children to this collaborative experience in painting, drawing, and crafting.
