The Stories We Tell - Opening Reception @ Creative Growth

  • Creative Growth 355 24th Street Oakland, CA, 94612 United States (map)

RSVP to the opening here.

The Stories We Tell Exhibition features artists currently practicing at Creative Growth: Kristian Cheek, Meyshe Shapiro-Nygren, John Martin, William Tyler, Larry Randolph, and George Wilson. Together, these artists all have a form of storytelling within their individual practices that takes the viewer into worlds both imagined and real.

The exhibition will also feature several films made in Creative Growth’s digital media lab, which often highlight the talent of various artists coming together to create films with incredible imagination, humor, and vision. Highlights include John Hiltunen’s Jon Bon Trilogy, William Tyler’s two films, Robot and Son and Cat and Chicken, and Starquarius, which tells the story of the last starship Starquarius on a mission to save planet Earth.

Together, these artists and their work represent the power of how stories can change how people see the world. They can challenge assumptions, inspire hope, or motivate action.

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.
