Art is power. It can influence perception, opinion and values. The artist who creates uses his paintbrush to focus on a moment in time... recording those things that touch the heart. —Ossie Davis, actor

QuickDraw engages your senses in a wow event. Proceeds help the art supplies budget for art in local public schools. QD provides upwards of 85% of Haywood County's school art supply budgets. The money's just not there for consumable supplies. Without your financial support, local art programs are limited and at risk for elimination.

Your contributions make a difference.
