From the Business: we have expanded our programs as a means of encouraging our artists to move from mere presence to full participation in the Bay Area's vibrant arts community. Artmaking is traditionally an isolated activity, and we offer opportunities for artists to interact with others when making and marketing art. We model ourselves after an artists’ collective, affording studio artists opportunities to work individually or collaboratively with their peers at Creativity Explored and/or with artists in the greater community.The studio operates five days a week and is open to any interested adult with a developmental disability. A person seeking services does not need prior artmaking experience, but rather needs to demonstrate an interest in becoming involved with the creative process. We have encouraged people with a wide range of skills and abilities to find their own artistic voice and to pursue a career in the visual arts. Our four core programs are described briefly below.?Creativity Explored provides studio artists workspace, instruction, and opportunities to explore a wide variety of media. Studio artists choose media and subject matter, and trained professional artists are available to assist each studio artist to develop a meaningful arts practice. Printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, and fabric art are included in a program designed to meet the needs, choices, and preferences of each studio artist.Read more
