About Hope Studios

Artists within the community who experience a developmental disability often do not have an avenue or opportunity to express themselves artistically. Therefore, the mission of hope studios is to provide artists the space and opportunity to create while allowing them to explore their form of self expression through different mediums. It is also our mission to elevate the talents that develop through self expression to become a viable part of the art community in Anchorage. We believe that it is possible to enhance the quality of life through participation in the arts.

The studio allows for artists to explore individual interests while incorporating the skills and talents of each artist to create a final work through the collaborative art model. The studio’s creative team, made up of individuals with and without developmental disabilities, work together to try different mediums and pull everyone’s skills together. The artists that participate in the program are the creative drivers and conceptualize all that the studio produces. The collaborators simply become the creative engineers, assuring that the concept comes to life the way the artist wants it to. Hope studios; a lively studio that celebrates the human spirit through creativity and ingenuity.
