Your Donation
Makes  a Difference

Every dollar is a direct investment in human potential.

Your donation provides our artists with the supplies, the supportive staff, and the vibrant studio space they need to discover happiness through art.

Medicaid Cuts = $25,000 Annual Loss of Funding

For the first time since we opened our doors in 2005, our Medicaid reimbursement rates have been reduced by 3%.

For perspective, 82% of our revenue comes from Medicaid reimbursement. This will have a catastrophic effect without an increase in public donations.

The heart of our mission is at risk.

Fuel Limitless
Potential

Your gift provides the essential materials, dedicated studio space, and expert support that allow adults with diverse abilities to explore their creativity without limits. You are investing directly in their self-discovery.

Build Confidence and Community

You don't just fund art supplies; you fund a safe, joyous community. Donations foster an atmosphere where artists build genuine friendships, gain independence, and feel deeply valued for who they are.
