Today Stephen and Cam installed our large-scale painting at Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities! ???? Our design incorporates DODD's core values—Inclusion, Partnership, and Respect—expressed through American Sign Language. Previously, the DODD leadership team joined us to add their personal touch to the mural, each contributing a splash of color. Now, it was our turn to visit them and bring the completed masterpiece to its new home!

Thank you to everyone that joined us last night to reveal this beautiful installation at The Boys & Girls Clubs of Hamilton Teen Center. The teens at this location chose the name, “The Wall of Greatness and Dreams,” perfectly capturing the spirit of this artwork. ??? Created in collaboration with InsideOut Studio artists, the design celebrates individuality and creativity. Each personalized hand showcases the unique stories and contributions of those involved in this meaningful project. ?? We couldn’t be more thrilled with the result and are so grateful for the opportunity to bring this vision to life. A special THANK YOU goes to Ohio Arts Council for their generous funding and support—this wouldn’t have been possible without you! ??

We had a great time at our second Adopt A Class visit to our class. The kiddos got to create a Christmas tree out of model magic clay and Grace taught a lesson on Marketing. ???? Great job, everyone! Looking forward to our next visit! ??

Today we had our first Adopt A Class visit at Linden Elementary. We loved getting to meet each student in our class to tell them a little bit about what we do! We completed a mural-themed project in which the kiddos completed drawings on small squares to piece together a cohesive image. We got to bring out some school spirit with the Linden Leopards logo! ?? ?? Great job today, everyone! We are so happy to be taking part in something so awesome! ??????
