Founded in 1973 in Oakland, California, Creative Growth Art Center is widely recognised as the world's first independent art centre entirely dedicated to supporting and advancing the professional careers of artists with developmental, mental, and physical disabilities. The programme grew out of a vision that people with disabilities deserve the same access to creative practice and cultural participation as anyone else.
Creative Growth provides studio space, art materials, and individualised guidance from professional artists to more than 140 enrolled artists. Artists work across painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, woodwork, fibre arts, fashion design, and digital media. The centre's gallery exhibits and sells work nationally and internationally, with each artist retaining 50% of all revenue from sales.
