About Us
Soul Studio, a division of Friendship Circle, is a studio art program for adults with special needs that responds to each participant’s unique physical and cognitive conditions.
Our goal is to encourage the creative growth of artists who attend Soul Studio by helping to shape individualized paths to success in the world. Artwork made by Soul Studio artists is exhibited in the Soul gallery and in outside curated exhibitions.
