It is our honor to announce that Creative Growth has been chosen as one of the recipients of the prestigious Fall 2023 grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts! As we enter into our 50th Anniversary year, these significant funds will allow us to connect contemporary art and disability justice in educational and inspiring ways while continuing to bring our artists' work from the margins to the mainstream.
A heartfelt thank you to The Andy Warhol Foundation for recognizing and investing in the transformative power of art. We're deeply grateful for the chance to advance our mission and offer artists a platform for free expression. Cheers to pushing boundaries, shattering molds, and cultivating a vibrant world where creativity knows no limits.
“The terrific range of project proposals we receive each year speaks to the mobile and porous disciplinary boundaries of contemporary art practice, and to the rich and inventive ways writers approach art today. They are alert to the urgent need to expand the conventions of art history and criticism with ideas from other discourses, such as black studies, transnational and diaspora studies, gender and women’s studies, and LGBT studies. The work of lesser known and overlooked artists and art communities continues to be mined, with writers articulating new ways to counter the striking imbalances of race, class and gender that continue to affect the arts and the culture industry.”
