Founded in 2010 with the mission of providing multi-modal arts programming, including sales and exhibition opportunities to individuals with disabilities in a supportive and inclusive environment, Make Studio aims to put art and abilities to work throughout Baltimore and beyond to create more inclusive communities for all. Via ongoing exhibitions, public programs, and studio services for visual artists with disabilities, we celebrate the aesthetics and concerns of artists commonly typed as "outsiders", making visible their observations and points-of-view to increase the vibrancy of our cultural sector.
