Studio By The Tracks, a small non-profit agency which every week provides safe harbor for 25 individuals with autism who go there to make art.

They provide a safe arena for dozens of at-risk children who come to the Studio to sculpt, paint, draw, deconstruct, assemble, write and act.

Mission Statement
Studio By The Tracks (SBTT), a non-profit organization, was formed in 1989 to provide free art classes to special needs adults and emotionally conflicted children.

SBTT provides a focused, energized effort which allows troubled young people and adults with special needs an outlet to create.

We encourage a supportive and nonjudgmental atmosphere necessary to nurture creative abilities, enhance self-esteem, and explore alternative ways of coping with emotional and physical conflict.

The success of our program is two-fold.
First, since opening our doors in 1989, over 1,000 at-risk youth have participated in the curriculum at SBTT.
A great number of these young people maintain contact with the Studio and many credit the Studio as a catalyst in their success after leaving the program.

Secondly, SBTT serves 25 individuals with mental disorders, principally adults and teenagers with autism.
Many of these individuals have been coming to the Studio since 1989 and have become career artists who sell their artwork are cultivate collectors.

Assisting these unique and singular visionaries in their determination for creative growth and self-sufficiency is one of SBTT's greatest successes.

To support our mission, SBTT offers art classes to the public, for both children and adults.
We also host a yearly benefit, "Art From The Heart," at which artwork by students as well as local artists, is exhibited and auctioned.
