Signature Home provides group living for six artists, and is located in a residential neighborhood of Morganton, NC. Local apartment living is also available for artists who have reached the goals of independent living.

Studio XI is a unique program offering a studio/gallery and supportive work environment for artistically gifted adults challenged by disabilities. Here they explore their creative potential, develop their unique self-taught talents, and profit form the experience of self-expression.

We provide spaces to work, art supplies, tools, equipment, special technical assistance, and an environment rich with support and encouragement.
