One of downtown’s top art galleries is no longer a downtown art gallery. That’s right folks, The Drawing Studio has moved from its place on Sixth Avenue, next to the future Johnny Gibson’s.
Although it might seem like a loss to the downtown community, Chris Novak, business manager for the gallery, says the move will be good.
“We are still in the process of finishing up the move and putting the finishing touches on our new space but we are very excited,” Novak says.
The Drawing Studio’s new location is in the building Ted’s Country Store used to be, located near Glenn Street at 2760 N. Tucson Blvd. The space will be a permanent home to the gallery. To stay up to date with the new space, follow The Drawing Studio on Facebook.

They already moved and had a big fiesta last weekend.
Glad they are in the ‘hood, but we wish they’d kept the Ted’s sign as a remembrance.
Ted actually sold the place a long time ago. It was later owned by someone who missed the opportunity to turn it into a vibrant community gathering place. It was almost empty every time I would stop by.
Glad to have The Drawing Studio in the neighborhood. I look forward to visiting it often and becoming very active in The Drawing Studio. I am very excited!
