In the heart of Austin, Texas - a city known for its creativity and independent spirit - Imagine Art stands as a uniquely integrated space where faith, art, and disability inclusion meet. As both a Supported Studio and a Christian ministry, Imagine Art is committed to building a community where artists with and without disabilities live, create, and grow together in spirit and practice.
🎨 Integrated Studio Practice
Imagine Art’s inclusive model brings together artists across ability, background, and belief. Professional artists, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and community members all work side-by-side in shared creative spaces. This isn’t just about making art - it’s about building relationships rooted in mutual respect, shared purpose, and spiritual grounding.
🖌️ Artistic Growth with Purpose
Artists at Imagine Art engage with a wide range of materials - paint, sculpture, digital media, textiles - and receive professional support and mentorship to refine their craft. But what truly distinguishes the studio is its focus on art as a calling. Facilitators and artists are encouraged to explore how creativity and faith can deepen self-expression and invite others into a shared experience of transformation.
⛪ Ministry Through Community
As a Christian ministry, Imagine Art also offers opportunities for worship, prayer, and service woven naturally into studio life. This spiritual foundation supports a holistic view of the artist - not just as a creative individual, but as someone living out their purpose within a loving, Christ-centered community. Programs extend beyond art-making to include housing supports, mental health services, and life skills - reflecting a belief in the wholeness and sacredness of every person.
🌟 Creating Together, Growing Together
At Imagine Art, art is not a solitary pursuit - it’s a communal one. The studio affirms that God-given creativity is present in everyone, and when nurtured within an inclusive, faith-rooted environment, it becomes a powerful force for healing, joy, and connection. Their work invites others to see people with disabilities not through the lens of limitation, but through their capacity to contribute meaningfully to both art and community.
