Your process is the right starting point.
Work in the medium that fits your ideas, your body, and your mind. You don't have to trade the way you create for someone else's idea of an artist.
A creative home. For us, by us.
A collective centering disabled and neurodivergent artists. From paint and textiles to dance, code, and AI, your tools don't define your worth. Your creativity belongs here.
No hierarchy of mediums.
Why we exist
The traditional art world has too often excluded disabled and neurodivergent artists. The emerging tech-art world can put expensive tools and technical fluency at the door.
We're here to challenge both. At heartsongs101, traditional and technology-based media are part of one continuum, held at equal standing. A brush, a line of code, or an assistive tool can each be the beginning of something meaningful.
Read our purposeAccess sits at the center of our purpose.
It's where the work begins.
Work in the medium that fits your ideas, your body, and your mind. You don't have to trade the way you create for someone else's idea of an artist.
Participation should fit your access needs. Technical expertise and expensive equipment aren't measures of creative potential.
Our approach to accessibilityWe're working toward more recognition and opportunity for an underserved artistic community—and a model for genuinely accessible arts programming.
Working with acrylics? Exploring AI? Moving through dance? Creating with an assistive tool? You don't need to become a different kind of artist to belong.
Your medium. Your process. Your pace.
