Event Details

The Stories We Tell features seven Creative Growth artists who translate their lived and imagined experiences into vivid visual narratives. Spanning painting, drawing, and collaborative short films, this mixed-media presentation celebrates storytelling as a force that can spark humor and inspire new paradigms. 

Creative Growth is a studio and gallery where artists with developmental disabilities create work collected by leading museums and celebrated around the world. Together they constitute one of the most vital avant-gardes working today, challenging dominant narratives of authorship, aesthetics, and artistic agency. Their influence now extends across international biennials, galleries, and cultural institutions, redefining the future of contemporary art.
