The Role
Our artists live with disabilities of varying forms but come to the studio because they want to be artists. To help our artists meet this goal, our Studio Faculty will lead their media-specific departments while making extra efforts to encourage, inspire, and motivate them to conceptualize new ideas, create with new mediums, develop and deliver specialized training programs, and exhibit their works when opportunities arise.
