Creative Growth is a nonprofit organization that serves artists with disabilities by providing a professional studio environment for artistic development, gallery exhibition, and representation.

Founded in 1974, Creative Growth is the oldest art center and exhibition space for adults with disabilities in the United States. Currently, there are over 150 artists working in our studio in a variety of media including painting, drawing, textiles, woodwork, ceramics, rugs, printmaking, and video production. Artwork fostered in this unique environment has been acquired by prominent institutions worldwide, including the MoMA, The Centre Pompidou, SFMOMA, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, The American Folk Art museum, the Studio Museum of Harlem, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Collection de L’art Brut in Lausanne, Switzerland.

If the first university developed from a gathering of people exchanging ideas, then Creative Growth is a kind of university. Here for almost 50 years, artists with disabilities have gathered to communicate, express themselves, draw, paint, sculpt, and seek innovative ways towards creative self-realization and identity.

--Tom di Maria Director, Creative Growth Art Center

The work produced by Creative Growth’s artists represents everything I could hope for in art: it is simultaneously joyful, sincere, obsessive and puzzling, and forcefully reminds me of why I remain committed to the potential of art to illuminate our lives.

--Matthew Higgs Director and Chief Curator, White Columns, New York
