Milk River Arts: A Sanctuary of Creativity for Disabled Artists

Profile on Milk River Arts, a partner organization headquartered at Studio Two Three

After the death of his father and his retirement from the military, Aly Costanzo felt lost. That changed when his sister found Milk River Arts.

“It gave me a purpose,” Costanzo said. “I really had no purpose. My sister found (founder Sally Kemp) for me, and Sally started Milk River Arts from scratch.”

Milk River Arts is a working studio that pairs adult artists with disabilities, like Costanzo, with professional artist-mentors to help develop, exhibit and sell their work. The name is a nod to the painting Milk River by Agnes Martin.
