Transforming challenges into opportunities through creativity, inclusion, and community.
At Step Art Org, we believe in the boundless potential of every individual. Founded with a vision to empower people with disabilities, our organization uses art as a transformative tool to break down barriers, celebrate diversity, and foster a more inclusive society. Guided by the inspiring story of our co-founder, Stephy Padilla, we are committed to creating opportunities that change lives and build stronger, more inclusive communities.
Step Art Org was born out of a deeply personal experience. Our founder, María Elena Padilla, was inspired by her daughter, Stephy, who has overcome immense challenges through the power of creativity. Stephy’s resilience and artistic talent became the driving force behind this organization.
From its beginnings, Step Art Org has been a space where art meets advocacy. Today, we are proud to serve as a platform for individuals with disabilities to express themselves, connect with others, and unlock their full potential. Our journey continues as we strive to bring inclusion and creativity to communities worldwide.
At Step Art Org, our mission is guided by core values that shape everything we do:
These values are the foundation of every program, partnership, and initiative we undertake.
