Icons: Creating a Movement

Icons: Creating a Movement celebrates Creative Growth artists whose groundbreaking practices have established them as icons of the Bay Area art scene, of contemporary art, and in the field of Outsider Art.

With the support of Creative Growth, these artists have contributed to a transformative movement that recognizes artists with disabilities as visionary contributors to artistic practice and cultural discourse.

The work of these artists has been acquired by prominent collections worldwide, including MoMA (New York), SFMOMA (San Francisco), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, DC), the Studio Museum in Harlem (New York), Collection de L’Art Brut (Lausanne, Switzerland), the Treger Saint Sylvestre Collection (São João da Madeira, Portugal), ICA Miami, and the American Folk Art Museum (New York).

The Creative Growth gallery will spotlight the work of Judith Scott, Dan Miller, William Scott, Nicole Storm, Monica Valentine, and Dwight Mackintosh. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience Scott’s sculptural practice, an on-site installation by artist Nicole Storm, and large-scale paintings by Dan Miller.

Icons: Creating a Movement is curated by Matthew Higgs.
