Creative Growth: REVEALED

Text + images (from current show): Anne S. Ditmeyer

Headquartered in Oakland, California, Creative Growth is a non-profit arts organization working to bring attention to outsider artists, including artists with disabilities, self-taught artists and artists from around the world. The works are often whimsical, unimaginable (in the detail and obsession) and striking for the very art that it is not, along with the unique stories of each artist.

Creative Growth has had a presence in Paris for the past couple years with Director Tom di Maria and Gaela Fernandez running the gallery. Formerly run under the name Galerie Impaire, the gallery no longer has a full-time home, but rather holds special exhibitions around the city, along with a showroom that is accessible by appointment only. To parallel one of the largest events Creative Growth Oakland holds each year with their holiday show, Paris is hosting its own holiday show, REVEALED, at Galerie Drylewicz (18 rue Provence, 9ème–by appointment only after Christmas) now through January 12, 2012.

The show includes the text-based works by Dwight Mackintosh, large work by Dan Miller, 'blues' partitions by Donald Mitchell, William Scott's unique view of the world, and William Tyler's adventures with his twin brother.
