Wild Classified is the result of a shared belief between North Pole Studio and Patricia Reser Center for the Arts: that art is most powerful when all voices are included. Together, the two organizations open windows into a world shaped by neurodivergent creativity – one that is bold, imaginative, and deeply human. Through this partnership, artists with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities are centered as creative leaders, inviting audiences to see differently and expand their understanding of who artists are and what art can be.

Installed across The Reser’s windows, Wild Classified offers a shared view into this vibrant creative landscape. Together, North Pole Studio and The Reser widen the window, creating space for more voices, more stories, and more ways of seeing. This collaboration reflects a mutual commitment to access, belonging, and joyful engagement with the arts. More than an exhibition, Wild Classified is an invitation: to pause, to connect, and to experience the power of creativity when difference is not only welcomed, but celebrated.
