Mission and programs · 2024

• OUR PROFESSIONAL STUDIO PROGRAM PROVIDES ARTISTS WITH AUTISM AND INTELLECTUAL/DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES WHO ARE 18 YEARS AND OLDER WITH AN ACCESSIBLE, SUPPORTED STUDIO SPACE TO PURSUE A SELF-DETERMINED ART PRACTICE. IN THIS PROGRAM ARTISTS ACCESS THE SPACE, MATERIALS, SUPPORT, AND ADVOCACY TO PRODUCE, EXHIBIT AND SELL THEIR ARTWORK. THROUGH INDIVIDUALIZED PROGRAMMING, WE SERVE A DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF ARTISTS WITH COMPLEX PHYSICAL, COMMUNICATION, BEHAVIORAL, AND SOCIAL NEURODIVERSITIES. THIS PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED BY SPECIALIZED ART FACILITATORS, WHO EXIST TO FACILITATE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES ALIGNED WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL'S GOALS AND DREAMS. IN 2025 JANUARY THROUGH JUNE, WE BROUGHT IN $15,400 IN INCOME FROM OUR PROFESSIONAL STUDIO PROGRAM. IN 2025 JANUARY THROUGH JUNE, WE SERVED 27 ARTISTS IN THE PROFESSIONAL STUDIO PROGRAM. 100% OF OUR ARTISTS WITH COLLECTIONS SOLD ORIGINAL ARTWORK, AND 100% OF THESE ARTISTS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXHIBIT EITHER LOCALLY OR NATIONALLY. IN ADDITION TO EXHIBITIONS, WE FACILITATED PAID OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS TO TEACH AND LECTURE IN THE COMMUNITY. WE SUPPORTED EVERY ARTIST WITH MAINTAINING A DIGITAL PORTFOLIO OF WORK, AND CREATED AN INDIVIDUALIZED WEBPAGE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL TO SHOW AND SELL THEIR WORK.

OUR STUDIO IS LOCATED IN PORTLAND'S PEARL DISTRICT, AN ARTS AND CULTURE CORRIDOR IN THE CITY. IN THIS SPACE, WE ENSURE THAT ARTISTS WITH DISABILITIES ARE FULLY INTEGRATED INTO THE PROFESSIONAL ARTS COMMUNITY AND WE FACILITATE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN ARTISTS WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES. THROUGH COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, WE INCREASE REPRESENTATION OF ARTISTS WITH DISABILITIES IN EXHIBITION SPACES, EVENTS, AND DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES. IN 2025 JANUARY THROUGH JUNE, WE WORKED WITH OVER 17 COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO FACILITATE EXHIBITION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS. WE FACILITATED 12 EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS LOCAL AND NATIONAL SPACES, INCLUDING COMPETITIVE AND REPUTABLE PROFESSIONAL GALLERIES SUCH AS WATERSTONE GALLERY AND THE OUTSIDER ART FAIR NYC. ALL EXHIBITIONS WERE WIDELY ATTENDED BY INDIVIDUALS WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES, AND GENERATED ART SALES AND VISIBILITY AROUND ARTIST'S STORIES. WE PARTNERED WITH SCHOOLS SUCH AS PPS AND VICTORY ACADEMY THROUGH WHICH NORTH POLE STUDIO ARTISTS TAUGHT WORKSHOPS AND DELIVERED LECTURES. ADDITIONALLY, WE HOSTED TRANSITION-AGED AND SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS IN THE STUDIO FOR TOURS.
