Nonprofit Overview
Mission: Creativity explored advances the value and diversity of artistic expression. We provide artists with developmental disabilities the means to create, exhibit, and sell their art in our studios, gallery, and around the world.
Programs: Creativity explored provides studio artists with workspace, instruction, and opportunities to expore a wide variety of media. Studio artists get to choose media and subject matter. Trained professional artists are available to assist each studio artist in exploring the creative process. Printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, and fabric art are included in a program desigend to meet the needs, choices, and preferences for each studio artist.
creativity explored professionally exhibits and markets artwork created by artists working in our studios. Exhibitions occur on a regular basis in our on-site gallery, offsite in private and public galleries, and in corporate and community spaces throughout the bay area. Exhibitions of artwork enhance the personal growth and professional esteem of studio artists, and often provide earned income from the sale of their artwork. Marketing their own work and understanding the business of art is difficult for many artists due to the nature of their disability. Many creativity explored studio artists require additional support to navigate the work of gallerists and dealers, legal contracts, and agreements to protect artists' interest, and to avoid exploitation.
