Creativity Explored presents: Vessels- An exhibition of handmade

Thu, Mar 9

Gallery Exhibition: Vessels

Opening Reception: Thursday, March 9, 2006, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Exhibition Dates: March 9 through April 27, 2006

Hold everything! Form and function take center stage when studio
artists think outside the box. Containers of all sorts, sizes, and
shapes fill the gallery as CE artists stretch their imaginations to
create non-traditional containers ready to hold just about anything.
A huge variety of handmade and hand-decorated containers for the home
will be on display.

The gallery is regularly open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
and Saturday from 1 to 6 p.m.

All artwork is available for purchase through the gallery.

Opened 22 years ago, Creativity Explored is a place where art changes
lives. All of the more than 120 member artists at this non-profit
visual arts center are people with a combination of developmental,
psychiatric and/or physical disabilities. Some have lived a life of
previous isolation or institutionalization. The artists come to
Creativity Explored from countries around the globe and speak a wide
variety of languages including Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog,
Thai, German, French, Arabic, Farsi and English. Many members do not
speak at all, unable to communicate using spoken words. At Creativity
Explored, visual art is the common language, providing a means to
share culture, experiences and feelings. Creativity Explored helps
its members find their voice through art.
