Drop-In and Classroom Information

All membership tiers (Associate, QuickKid and Producing) have the ability to come in and use the classroom during our public or Free Swim hours provided they aren't being used for other projects, events or classes. Check our Classroom Calendar to ensure it's clear for you to drop by.

Free Swim is our guaranteed-supervised drop-in time in the classroom. Free Swim is every Saturday from 1:00pm - 5:00pm unless otherwise specified on the calendar. Free Swim allows members to come and use the classroom to work on their projects while having someone on-hand to help with software and hardware troubleshooting, animation advice, and a chance to hang out with other animators working on their projects!

Quickdraw's classroom contains 10 iMac computers, Wacom Intuos 4 tablets for member use, and every drawing and animation supply you can imagine.
