Deaf Stars Shine @ Creative Growth

The Creative Growth Deaf Artist Group makes its exhibition debut this summer with Deaf Stars Shine. Join us on July 17th from 5-8pm for an opening celebration featuring opening remarks, a live DJ,  and button-making. Guests will receive balloons that can be held against speakers to feel the vibrations of the music through.

James Davis presents a solo installation in the gallery window box featuring neon-painted artworks illuminated by black light, creating a vibrant and immersive display. Donna Kutz’s window box installation centers on a large ceramic lighthouse that casts rainbow-colored light, serving as a beacon that welcomes visitors into the gallery.

The Creative Growth Deaf Artist Group is an artist-led affinity group that creates a dedicated space for Deaf and hard of hearing artists, interpreters, facilitators, staff, and allies to connect through shared culture and creative practice. Affinity groups at Creative Growth bring together people with common identities or lived experiences to build foster belonging and provide mutual support.

Members of the Deaf Artist Group cultivate a space where Deaf perspectives are centered and accessibility is prioritized. The group serves as a platform to strengthen connections among artists and the diversity of Deaf culture.
