DESCRIPTION:March 14 - May 2, 2019; Opening Reception March 14, 2019 from 6pm to 
 9pm\n\nAcclaimed artist Mildred Howard believes, "Art is art, regardless of 
 who makes it."\n\nIn this forthcoming group show, Howard presents selected 
 artworks of five Creativity Explored artists, Vincent Jackson, James Miles, 
 Selene Perez, Evelyn Reyes, and Lance Rivers, alongside two contemporary 
 Bay Area artists, Oliver Lee Jackson and John Moore. Addressing inequities 
 in curatorial practices in the art world, Howard aims to open up a dialogue 
 about artistic representation by presenting groupings of small format works 
 by artists with and without developmental disabilities, with an egalitarian 
 vision and exceptional grace.\n\nMildred Howard worked as a Visual Arts 
 Instructor in the Creativity Explored studio in the late 1980s during the 
 formative years of the organization. Since that time, Howard has become 
 known for her activism as well as intricately designed installations 
 uncovering what is seldom seen in the realm of art history with a critical 
 focus on race, social justice, and identity.\n\nIn returning to the 
 Creativity Explored studio, Howard was struck by the incredible talent and 
 vision of artists with developmental disabilities, and thus, the lack of 
 representation of these artists in the world of contemporary art. Working 
 with the exhibitions team at Creativity Explored, Howard hand-selected 
 small works of five artists, each representing unique visual vocabularies, 
 artistic styles, and personal backgrounds.\n\nIn an effort to level the 
 playing the field, Howard has included works by John Moore and Oliver Lee 
 Jackson to share walls of the Creativity Explored gallery, a space 
 typically reserved for artwork produced in the studios.\n\nAt the opening 
 reception, Creativity Explored will release a new catalog of Five and Two 
 Others, memorializing Howard's activist vision and this groundbreaking 
 exhibition. The catalog will include additional artwork not featured on 
 display as well as a curatorial statement from Howard outlining her process 
 and vision.\n\nFree\n
