CG IS HIRING OUR NEXT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR!

The Executive Director, as the chief executive officer of Creative Growth, holds a multifaceted role. This position involves managing senior staff, setting programmatic and curatorial direction, securing diverse funding streams, overseeing fiscal management, and advocating for the advancement of artists with disabilities within the art world. Additionally, the Executive Director is responsible for building national and international relationships within the disability and art communities, organizing the annual Creating Communities symposium, and representing Creative Growth in various contexts. 

 

This role demands a visionary leader with executive-level management experience and a hands-on approach to daily operations. A deep understanding of Creative Growth's artists and staff is essential, along with sensitivity to the nuances of developmental disabilities and their impacts on individuals, their families, and support systems.

"SOUL FOOD" CELEBRATING THE CULTURAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF OUR BLACK ARTIST COMMUNITY

Curated by Creative Growth artists, this dynamic exhibition celebrates the cultural contributions of the center’s Black artist community.

 

Through diverse mediums including painting, sculpture, textiles, and ceramics, the exhibition highlights the artists’ unique perspectives on comfort, culture, and community.

 

“As we celebrate Soul Food and the stories it tells, we honor the strength of community and the rich cultural legacies of our Black artists,” said Nadia Philomena Ghani, Gallery Director. “This exhibition underscores the deep connections within Creative Growth and the shared humanity that art inspires.”

 

As part of the opening celebration, guests are invited to participate in a special doll-making activity inspired by Creative Growth artist  Tanisha Warren’s handmade dolls. Participants are invited to create clothing for unique doll forms inspired by Tanisha’s techniques and the stories behind her work. The activity will take place from 5-7 PM in the Creative Growth studio. All materials will be provided and participation is open to all ages.
