BEING Studio supports artists with developmental disabilities who are working in visual art and creative writing. Each artist is encouraged and supported in achieving their unique creative and professional goals, whether to become more prolific, profitable, or simply to find focus for their creative practice.

This exhibition is a culmination of the “In the Making” project wherein, over the span of several months, five regional artists visited the studio to provide the collective with workshops on printmaking, photography, assemblage sculpture, ceramics, and storytelling. The resulting artwork, borne out of a collective experience of sharing knowledge and supporting expression through the arts, explores notions of selfhood and identity from distinctive and sometimes surprising perspectives.
