Dancing Around the Oak Tree Art Studio Inc. was founded by Vickie Lawrence to serve the disabled community of San Diego County by providing them with a safe space to learn about and create different types of art. People with disabilities are an undeserved and often ignored population who face daily struggles and challenges. Our studio provides awareness and empowerment to individuals who may be inadvertently excluded from other art spaces due to outside perception of their disability. 

Some of the services our studio provides are:

• A safe place for members of the community to participate in art classes that will aid in the development of coping skills.
• Opportunities for individuals with disabilities to display their art for the community at no cost.
• Classes aimed at teaching individual's art skills.
• Education and awareness among the general public regarding people with disabilities within the artistic community.
