I recently had the wonderful opportunity of working with the artists of Creative Growth as a visiting artist. As apart of their annual holiday show and sale, a few pieces from this workshop will be on display in the gallery. If youve never been to this event I urge you swing by and check it out. This is my favorite event of the year. I always have a great time and leave with a few (and sometimes too many!) cherished pieces.
Creative Growths holiday exhibition and studio sale has become a much-anticipated Bay Area tradition, one held in high regard by art collectors and holiday shoppers alike. This years exhibition highlights the work made during Creative Growth artist collaborations with guest contemporary artists: Kathleen Henderson, Meagan Donegan, Ed Musante, Jessica Dacher, Livia Stein, Sas Colby, Paper Magazine and more.
Holiday Project includes artwork for sale made in drawing, ceramics, rugs, woodwork, prints, cigar box art, sculpture and textiles. With one of a kind holiday cards, art books, t-shirts, watches AND the premier of the Creative Growth for Marc Jacobs Pop-Up-Shop, with limited edition bags direct from the 2009 fundraiser and collaboration with the internationally acclaimed Marc Jacobs design house.
