Meet Our Artists
We were founded with the idea that the studio belongs to its artists. The guiding principle behind our studio is to give people an opportunity to shape and be a member of an artistic community; a community that changes with the growing needs of the artists and one that is a contributing member of the larger society.
Join Our Studio
Arts of Life offers artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities an alternative career path designed to help enrich their lives as working artists.

Arts of Life is here today thanks to countless dedicated supporters in our community.
The Mitchell Group has invested in Arts of Life artists for 15 years, most recently as Fine Silver sponsor at our 25th Birthday Party and Book Launch event.
We chatted with The Mitchell Group COO Ann Brunett about her longstanding commitment to Arts of Life.
How has being involved with Arts of Life impacted your life?
I come from a large family and was brought up to believe that being involved with others, especially others who might need things that I have to give – time, attention, encouragement – is something we’re all tasked with doing. AofL reminds me of where I come from. I get such happiness from the work of various artists that surrounds me at home and at work. I am awed by the talent that’s fostered here.
What do you hope for Arts of Life for the next 25 years?
I hope to see and support continued growth in the community. The work that’s been accomplished in Chicago can serve as a model in other cities and countries, reaching individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities who seek a supportive community to help them develop and promote their artistic talent and strengthen their leadership skills.
Thank You Ann & The Mitchell Group for your steadfast commitment to our artist!

Thank you to everyone who made EXPO Chicago a success! There was so much enthusiasm around Marvin, Allison, and Susan’s work. We loved seeing many new and familiar faces stop by our booth, and getting to tour the fair with our artists. Feeling immense gratitude this week for our Chicago art community!
Thank you to @artistsframe for framing the work so beautifully!
