Mission

We connect and empower a neurodiverse community of artists.

Approach

We pair adult artists with disabilities with professional artists who accompany them in creating, exhibiting, and selling unique bodies of work.

In addition to providing transformative connections and mentorships, studio artists co-create and work together on ambitious, risky projects with a big community of accomplices throughout Richmond.
