Creative Growth Introduction

Creative Growth Art Center is a nonprofit art studio for artists with disabilities, providing a professional studio environment for artistic development. Founded in 1974, 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.

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.
