The chaos of artists laughing, drills operating, and the clatter from sculptures being created can be overwhelming for anyone the first time they walk into Live Yes Studios.⁠ ⁠ What started out as residential assistance for individuals with disabilities has turned into a sanctuary for disabled individuals to indulge in several mediums of art.⁠ ⁠ “It can be scary," said Live Yes director Craig Casados. "But it soon offers personal growth because people can step outside their comfort zone and have the opportunity to fail.”⁠ ⁠ Every first Friday of the month, artists prepare a collection to present at the gallery. Some artists focus on one specific art form while others showcase a bit of everything from ceramics to tufting.⁠ ⁠ This month, Jessica, another of the studio's artists, combined her love for painting and dolls for her showcase.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Read more about Live Yes Studios at the link in our bio. ⁠ ⁠ ✏: Evelyn Mejia & 📷: Noah Riffe / Lincoln Journal Star
