Our inspiration today comes from an amazing program called Creativity Explored. This is a San Francisco based, non-for-profit, visual arts center where artists with developmental disabilities create, exhibit, and sell art. We are reminded once again that creativity is not limited to a certain age, race, ethic background, education level or financial status. Everyone has been given a measure of creativity that is seeking a method of release. Abby's creative expressions are much different than my own. She draws, designs, gardens and generally makes everything she touches look beautiful. I instead use words and food as my mediums of expression. These differences prove that creativity can not be contained by barriers, boundaries or stereotypes. So here are the pieces of art from Creativity Explored that we fell in love with. Some are offered through CB2, a company that partnered with Creativity Explored to re-fashion the artwork into textiles for the home. Check out these websites and remember - there is creativity somewhere inside of you as well.
