Founded in the 70s, when the de-­‐insdtudonalizadon revoludon was taking place in Northern California, a couple—an ardst and psychologist—did an experiment and opened up their home with art supplies to a small group of people. More than 35 years later, Creadve Growth now has over 150 ardsts that come weekly to create art. In the large open space studio, there are several workstadons—ranging from drawing, woodwork, ceramics, rug making, and video producdon—as a way to sdmulate creadvity and promote individual expression. Contrary to art therapy, the ardsts that come to Creadve Growth are not directed in their art and do not receive treatment from our staff. Several of our ardsts have ahained internadonal acclaim and are recognized as quintessendal outsider ardsts. Works by certain of our ardsts have been acquired by the MOMA in NYC, the Musée d’Art Brut in Lausanne, the Lille Modern Art Museum (LAM), the Museum of Everything in London, the ABCD Collecdon in Paris, etc.Presse mappe I Seite 21
