Creative Growth is a space in which those with mental or physical disabilities can go be artists.  They do instruction, gallery promotion, and allow those with stifled voices express themselves. The studio has been open since the 1970s and has had art featured in traveling exhibitions and museums worldwide.

This is one more thing a progressive society needs. Creative people doing things to better their society beyond throwing money at it.
