Founded in 1974, Creative Growth Art Center is a nonprofit art studio and gallery celebrating 50 years of supporting 140+ artists with disabilities.
Creative Growth is a leader in the field of arts and disabilities, establishing a model for a creative community guided by the principle that art is fundamental to human expression and that all people are entitled to its tools of communication.
Where's Nick Pagan? He had some great ideas too. The pup show here has me in stitches, no I didn't crash my jet, I'm just laughing so hard I tipped my chair.
I miss you Tom. It's been way too long. I loved my time being an artist with Create Growth. A Sockness map is now a thing. I don't make maps any more, value what you have. They worth a ton now.
I used to attend Creative Growth and drew maps and did ceramics. I made skulls. The rich fucks that attended the art shows looked down on us like we were pets. I never felt equal to them unless I asserted myself. If you get the chance to own a Sockness map, do so, because I don't make those any more. I'm a freedom fighter. I loved my time there and as I grow old and tired, I realized I should have staid in reach of the studio and evolved my art. I do wonder of my buddy Nick Pagan still does the Dick Characters I started in 2008 from and AIDS campaign ad. I have great memories of Fridays when we had the dance and music time. I hope the plandemic didn't dampen the spirit of Creative Growth. Kansas has a similar program and they never shut down. Stay strong brothers. Science never fails, we'll be back.
