Bringing Disabled Artists Into The Mainstream

Oakland’s Creative Growth Art Center has spent the past fifteen years using art as a means of engaging disabled individuals. But more recently, the center’s “decades of activism and tireless promotion of its artists have helped push the work of disabled artists into the mainstream. While in the past the work of Miller and others might have appeared in shows and exhibits dedicated to artists with disabilities, it’s now more likely to hang alongside that of other contemporary artists.”
