\ Art changes lives

Over 40 years of supporting artists with disabilities in San Francisco.

We are a studio in San Francisco that partners with artists with developmental disabilities to celebrate and nurture the creative potential in all of us.

\ Featured Pieces of the Month!

This month’s collection explores what it means to embrace the monstrous. The featured works provoke us to look beyond the surface—what do our monsters represent? Fear? Freedom? Power?⁠

We unleash the monsters within and celebrate the wild, the weird, and the wonderfully creative.⁠

Our new program where neurodiverse young adults embark on a journey of arts exploration, mentorship, and professional development.

Join us this Fall!

SFMOMA Acquires Artwork from Creativity Explored, Creative Growth, and NIAD

\ Our New Book

Featuring the work and stories of over 100 artists at Creativity Explored, Art is Art is full of inspiration.
