Mission and Program Overview

Mission

We support careers in the arts, and exist to increase opportunities for artists with autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities to thrive as active members of the arts community. We foster self-determination and facilitate meaningful connections through total engagement in the arts. We believe that a collective understanding of diverse human experiences is foundational to a vibrant and whole community. Through studio practice and community engagement, we ensure that neurodiverse artists thrive as engaged, visible, and thriving contributors to the local and national contemporary art world. North pole studio provides an accessible studio space and professional studio program that is fully integrated into the professional arts community. Through our strategic location in nw marine art works, portland's largest collective of working artist studios, we facilitate connection and collaboration between artists with and without disabilities through the shared language of the arts.

We empower artists with autism and I/DD to lead self-determined lives and careers in the arts.

IN ADDITION TO EXHIBITIONS, WE FACILITATED PAID OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS TO TEACH AND LECTURE IN THE COMMUNITY.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0OUR WEEKLY ART CLASSES ARE OFFERED EACH QUARTER, AND ARE AVAILABLE FOR ARTISTS WITH AUTISM OR I/DD WHO ARE 16 YEARS AND OLDER. THIS PROGRAM IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO SERVE "TRANSITION-AGED" YOUNG ADULTS WHO ARE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 16-25 AND ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO UNEMPLOYMENT, SOCIAL ISOLATION, AND MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES UPON GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL. THESE CLASSES COVER DIVERSE TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES, PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE A WIDE RANGE OF ART-MAKING METHODS. OUR WORKSHOPS ARE OFFERED ON A WEEKLY BASIS, AND LESSONS ARE DESIGNED BASED ON ARTIST REQUEST AND ARE EITHER HOSTED IN THE STUDIO OR AT A PARTNERSHIP SITE. THESE WORKSHOPS PROVIDE AN ACCESSIBLE ALTERNATIVE TO COMMUNITY OFFERINGS (SUCH AS FIGURE DRAWING, POTTERY, DIGITAL DRAWING) THAT ARE OFTEN INACCESSIBLE TO INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES. IN 2025 JANUARY THROUGH JUNE, WE OFFERED OVER 73 OPPORTUNITIES TO A DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF ART STUDENTS ACROSS FOUR, QUARTERLY CLASS TERMS. THROUGH THESE CLASSES, WE DELIVERED LESSONS ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF ART METHODS AND MATERIALS INCLUDING DRAWING, SCULPTURE, PRINTMAKING, FIBER ARTS, POTTERY, GLASSWORKING, AND MORE. WE PARTNERED WITH OVER 21 COMMUNITY ARTISTS TO TEACH LESSONS IN THEIR AREA OF EXPERTISE. THROUGH THESE PARTNERSHIPS, WE TAUGHT COMMUNITY ARTISTS ABOUT HOW TO INCORPORATE ACCESSIBLE PRACTICES INTO THEIR TEACHING METHODS. ADDITIONALLY, WE WORKED WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO PROVIDE QUARTERLY WORKSHOPS BASED ON ARTIST REQUEST. OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS INCLUDED KEEN, THE MARIE LAMFROM FOUNDATION, LAIKA, STEPHEN'S PLACE AND MORE. COMMUNITY OUTREACH WORKSHOPS ARE DESIGNED TO BUILD ORGANIC CONNECTIONS BETWEEN DIVERSE COMMUNITIES OF ARTISTS THROUGH THE SHARED LANGUAGE OF THE ARTS.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0OUR COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING PROMOTES THE INCLUSION OF ARTISTS WITH AUTISM AND I/DD IN THE ARTS COMMUNITY, AND SEEKS TO INCREASE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THIS POPULATION'S EXPERIENCES. OUR STUDIO IS LOCATED IN PORTLAND'S PEARL DISTRICT, AN ARTS AND CULTURE CORRIDOR IN THE CITY. IN THIS SPACE, WE ENSURE THAT ARTISTS WITH DISABILITIES ARE FULLY INTEGRATED INTO THE PROFESSIONAL ARTS COMMUNITY AND WE FACILITATE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN ARTISTS WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES. THROUGH COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, WE INCREASE REPRESENTATION OF ARTISTS WITH DISABILITIES IN EXHIBITION SPACES, EVENTS, AND DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES. IN 2025 JANUARY THROUGH JUNE, WE WORKED WITH OVER 17 COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO FACILITATE EXHIBITION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS. WE FACILITATED 12 EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS LOCAL AND NATIONAL SPACES, INCLUDING COMPETITIVE AND REPUTABLE PROFESSIONAL GALLERIES SUCH AS WATERSTONE GALLERY AND THE OUTSIDER ART FAIR NYC. ALL EXHIBITIONS WERE WIDELY ATTENDED BY INDIVIDUALS WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES, AND GENERATED ART SALES AND VISIBILITY AROUND ARTIST'S STORIES. WE PARTNERED WITH SCHOOLS SUCH AS PPS AND VICTORY ACADEMY THROUGH WHICH NORTH POLE STUDIO ARTISTS TAUGHT WORKSHOPS AND DELIVERED LECTURES. ADDITIONALLY, WE HOSTED TRANSITION-AGED AND SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS IN THE STUDIO FOR TOURS. IN 2025 JANUARY THROUGH JUNE WE BROUGHT IN $33,157 IN ARTIST EARNED INCOME THROUGH ART SALES, LICENSING, LECTURING AND TEACHING AND $6,248 IN MERCHANDISE SALES.
