About The Lifework Studio The Lifework Studio was conceived with the notion of redefining the common conventions of art based on the view that everyone has creative power, which when tapped makes life more fulfilling and joyful. Through publications, exhibitions, and other public projects, an affiliation of independent artists work to inspire originality, beauty, and creative energy in themselves and in the widest possible audience. This has been the lifework of founder and director Adrienne Leban, through her teaching, her visual art, and her essays and activism for social and political progress which put appreciation of individual uniqueness and creativity at the center rather than the margins of society. Since 1969, Ms. Leban has taught thousands of students her innovative and influential curricula which include courses in Originality, Advertising and Graphic Design for Social Change, and Media Communications at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She has written and spoken on issues concerning art and consciousness, visual language, social change, and on finding the artist in everyone. Ms. Leban has a Master of Arts from New York University.
