Creative Growth was a place I had heard about over the years, but I had never really checked out, partly because they usually do not have art classes for children. The organization focuses on adults with disabilities, providing studio space, materials, and instruction, as well as opportunities to exhibit in their gallery.
After finally taking the time to visit, I was absolutely blown away by the exhibit Beau Geste, which was on display through April 25. The title referred to the line work and gesture of (mostly) the human body (and that happens to be my favorite art form and subject). I have a new-found respect and awe for what is often referred to as "outsider art", and, as with most things, I have discovered that I know far less than I originally thought.
