Absolutely love the artwork from Creative Growth! The talent and originality of the artists is incredible — every piece tells a story. This space is so important; it empowers artists with developmental disabilities to thrive and share their unique voices. I highly recommend visiting the gallery and supporting this amazing community—you’ll walk away inspired (and probably with some art you’ll treasure forever). The staff and artists have a created a vortex of joy right in the middle of Oakland.

A unique must do: read and learn about the history and founders of this very special place. Visit the art gallery, volunteer/support, shop for art and home decor, attend the yearly fashion show of custom-designed clothes or other event. The artwork produced is world- class and the community of artist and staff are very kind.
