The heart of the studio
The Art Studio & Gallery is a core part of Goodwill Columbus’ Adult Day Services. As one of our six locations, the studio serves as a safe, creative haven where adults with disabilities showcase their unique talents, enhance their professional skills, and grow their independence. Here, artists work alongside professional mentors to master new creative methods while learning the business side of the arts—including marketing, event planning, and pricing.
At Goodwill, we help people build lives of possibility and purpose. The Art Studio brings this mission to life by promoting self-advocacy, emotional expression, and professional dignity.

Meet Ella Mae
Every Friday, Ella Mae brings a unique perspective to our studio with her vibrant, geometric “Rainbows.” A dedicated artist who creates straight from her imagination, she uses bold shapes and colors to turn abstract visions into structured, professional works of art.
Beyond the canvas, the studio is where Ella Mae feels truly at home. Whether she’s sharing a laugh with her close-knit group of friends or collaborating with the staff who support her creative journey, she reminds us that art is as much about connection as it is about color.
