Description
Inklude Studio is a non-profit 501(c)(3), community based, art and design studio. We provide an open, creative, and collaborative studio environment for adult artists with autism and other developmental disabilities. Artists who participate in our studio program have the opportunity to earn income from the sale of their creative work. Our studio program is artist directed. Artists develop their own projects and make decisions regarding exhibition and sales opportunities. Our goal is to have studio artists included in as much of the studio's operations as possible - so they may develop practical business skills; as well as, develop their creative skills.
Artists at Inklude Studio work in a variety of mediums, including; fiber arts, textiles, drawing, painting, printmaking, bookbinding, sculpture, and photography. Original artwork by Inklude artists is featured in several exhibitions annually. Unique, limited edition, hand-made items crafted from textiles designed and hand-printed by Inklude artists is available for sale in our store.
Inklude is a program of Little Friends, Inc.
