Creating hope
Hope Studio
Young adults and families with all kind of abilities can explore creative expression at Hope Studio. We are in the process of establishing a permanent space but we have already begun offering fun workshops in the Middleton area where we dance, sing and learn to do improv.
And through Alex Haunty’s Theater and Arts Fund, Inc., we have been able to take groups of young adults with disabilities to Broadway musicals at the Overture Center for the arts.
What’s Happening!
Summer 2025 was full of fun and new experiences. June 24-August 10, three of our Inspiring Hope artists (Alex Haunty, Anastasia Wilson and Max Divelbiss) are showing their artwork at the Overture Center. Come hear the artists speak at a reception on June 26 at 5pm.
Together, all our artists will help paint a large mural this summer for one of the walls at the IHM Building on University St. in Middleton. Thank you Gary Nauman for leading this fun project
