Franna Lusson Featured in Audubon Magazine

Creative Growth artist Franna Lusson is featured in the Winter 2025 edition of Audubon Magazine, spotlighting artists who bring ecological awareness and personal vision to the page. Franna beautifully captures the rare and majestic wading bird in a way that is both scientifically observant and deeply expressive. This project reflects Lusson's long-standing interest in nature. Her selection by the Audubon Society places her alongside a cohort of contemporary artists reimagining the traditions of wildlife illustration through new lenses. We’re proud to see Franna’s work reach a national audience and contribute to the growing visibility of disability-led practices in conservation and illustration alike.

William scott on view at syracuse university art museum

Creative Growth artist William Scott is featured in Possible Worlds: 20 Years of the Wynn Newhouse Awards at Syracuse University Art Museum. The Wynn Newhouse Awards honor professional fine artists with disabilities, offering financial grants and broader recognition to creators whose work might otherwise be overlooked. Founded in 2006 through the Samuel I. Newhouse Foundation, the awards were inspired by collector Wynn Newhouse, who was himself disabled and understood the barriers artists with disabilities often face. Each year, a rotating jury of respected figures from the art world selects recipients who share in a prize pool and, in many cases, gain exhibition opportunities in New York City. William joins 10 other artists chosen from 115 award recipients celebrating 20 years of this award.
