The Creative Commons
Jan 12, 2019 - Apr 14, 2019
Artyard is pleased to present The Creative Commons: Progressive Studio Practice from the Creative Growth Art Center, Land Gallery, and the Center for Creative Works. This exhibition features works from three non-profit studios influenced by the work of Creative Growth founders Florence and Elias Katz, whose radical approach to art making and inclusion for adults with developmental disabilities launched acclaimed careers and occasioned a sea change in conceptions of contemporary art. This quiet revolution allowed artists such as Judith Scott, a hearing-impaired woman with Down Syndrome who spent thirty-five years in an institution, to achieve international recognition, exhibit at MoMA, and represent the United States in the Venice Biennale after finding community, meaningful employment, and exposure to the fiber arts at Creative Growth. She was not alone.

The Creative Commons is remarkable, not just because the work is so good, but because what it represents is so new.
