Sacred Places: A group exhibition of paintings, drawings, handcrafted
shrines and sculpture by artists with developmental disabilities at San
Francisco's Creativity Explored

From the Australian desert to the Baptist Church, artists with
Developmental disabilities from San Francisco's Creativity Explored
investigate Sacred places in a new exhibition of paintings, drawings,
handcrafted shrines and sculpture. Pieces include a dresser
painstakingly covered with paintings of miniature churches by artist
Paul Gee, Abel Pineda's poetic renderings of village churches in
Mexico, and portraits by numerous artists of everyone from Ganesha to
Jesus. Artist Kelly Clark contributes a large shadowbox Buddhist
shrine that, in the words of the artist, depicts "Buddha on a space
trip." And Ricardo Estella also looks to the East with a ceramic
sculpture of a very voluptuous, blue Hindu goddess with four faces.

Opening Reception: Thursday, May 4, 2006 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Exhibit Dates and Times:May 4- June 15, 2006, M-F 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.,
