Your Space to Create, Your Way.

Creative Space. Inclusive Community.

We are a welcoming space where autistic, neurodivergent, and developmentally disabled adults are empowered to create as artists. Our program offers hands-on sessions in painting, ceramics, printmaking, and more—all tailored to each artist’s interests and pace.

Artists have the freedom to choose their medium, while experienced facilitators provide guidance and support to help them grow creatively and professionally. For those interested, we also offer support in selling their work with the goal of becoming a working artist.

In addition to individual studio time, we provide group classes for adults seeking a collaborative and inspiring art experience.

Our Program is in Partnership with The Arc Macon, Spark Macon & Artspace Macon.
Our studio is located at Artspace Macon in Ingleside Village.
Address 2378 Ingleside Avenue, Macon, Ga 31204

  • We have art facilitators on hand to support artists as they create. Facilitators are experienced in working with diverse learners and focus on meeting each artist where they are. They take time to learn about the artist’s strengths, interests, and creative goals, and then offer individualized guidance, encouragement, and technical support.

    Facilitators don’t direct or control the process—instead, they help artists grow at their own pace, develop their unique voice, and feel confident in their creative expression.
