The Creative Growth Art Center

The Creative Growth Art Center, based in Oakland, California, is an organization that provides art studio and gallery space for individuals with disabilities, particularly developmental disabilities. Founded in 1974, it aims to foster creativity and self-expression through various art forms, including painting, sculpture, and textiles. Artists at Creative Growth receive support and encouragement to develop their skills, showcasing their work in exhibitions. The center promotes inclusivity and challenges stereotypes about disabled artists, empowering participants not only to create but also to connect with the broader art community.
