Creative Growth Art Center is located in the Downtown/Lake Merritt area of Oakland, California. We are a 10 minute stroll to the lake. Our two-story tall art center was originally an auto shop and has tall ceilings and big windows. We are surrounded by still functioning auto shops, restaurants, newly constructed tall buildings, and a few historic homes. Our studio and gallery have separate entrances. The studio entrance has an automatic door and is most accessible for mobility aid users. The studio is crowded with materials and tables, and is separated into smaller sections like painting, ceramics, and wood shop. There are stairs at either end of the building that lead to a second story, which is also accessible via elevator. Upstairs, there are 'quieter' classrooms and admin offices.
