Creativity Explored is thrilled to bring an art fair championing artists with disabilities to downtown San Francisco! Partnering with The Open Invitational, we'll bring together progressive studios from across the country, providing individual funding so that studios can join when other fairs have traditionally been out of reach. Free and open to the public, the fair will expand SF Art Week's offerings to encompass these important artworks, artists and studios; catalyzing the long-overdue cultural dialogue of who is exhibited, who is collected, and who is discussed.
