It’s more than an art space—it’s a movement.
Sandal Gap Studio, is a revolutionary organization dedicated to closing the gap between society and individuals with disabilities. Using art as the vehicle for inclusion, we empower the disability community to break down superficial barriers. What sets us apart is our unwavering focus on fostering a community built on full acceptance and understanding.
Through our five core programs — Studio Day Program, Studio Events, Junior Board of Directors, Close the Gap and Sandal Gap Summer Camp — we touch the lives of people of all ages and abilities. We believe that individuals with disabilities are valuable and essential members of society, and we work tirelessly to prove it every day.
Studio Day Program
Our 10 resident artists bring the studio to life Monday through Thursday, pouring passion into their craft. Want to volunteers or help with studio supplies?
