i LOVE art, of all kinds, every level from van gogh to bill traylor to that plastic bag that floated so in "american beauty" (kinda a bit, but not hella ...) creativity explored is a MUST on anyone's hit list for the versatility and breadth of the talented artists, many of whom are there beside their art... holiday shows are incredibly festive with great local bands playing, and you are sure to find a perfect and unique piece for someone whom you hadn't thought to gift... located on 16th/gurerro, it's a fantastic way to get down to the mission and explore some of the spots you've only window shopped...

On weekends, you can visit the gift shop and studio area. I suggest it. The organization works with adults who have cognitive differences, and art allows them too have a career selling their art and gives them something thoughtful and engaging during the week. To be honest, I feel like there are dozens of items, almost all originals, that I wanted to buy. JP McKenzie's works stood out the most to me. Still, the studio shorts 130+ adults during the year, and it's goal of helping these individuals with income and engagement is fantastic. Definitely a place to visit and buy some artwork.

This is such a magical and unique place! The studio itself a great institution that really changes the lives of the people that work there. Visitors who come in on weekdays can see all the artists working in the studio right behind the gallery and sometimes have the opportunity to meet them too! The work is very reasonably priced and if you browse for a little while I guarantee you'll find something you love! Staff is friendly and helpful as well...definitely one of San Francisco's underrated gems.

Creativity Explored is a cool center where you can come see some amazing art. This is a center for those with developmental disabilities to express themselves through the use of art. The pieces are unique and there are a lot of items that can be purchased. We walked only around the lobby area where items were displayed on the walls but we were invited to go back into a larger room where work was being completed. A fabulous place to come and an even greater purpose.

If you are looking for wonderful art that helps support a wonderful cause then look no further this is the place for you. The selection is amazing and I have purchased some of my most favorite art pieces here. I can't help but buy 4 pieces every time I visit. Please help support the mentally disabled.

Smitten with the beautiful piece of artwork I picked up here, and I was able to meet the artist, JD, who was so sweet. The shop had so many different styles of art, that if you're looking for a gift for someone you'll undoubtedly be able to find a piece that suits them.

I love wading through all the artwork that’s available in the workshop. I’ve bought a few pieces from Creativity Explored and I’m always getting questions and compliments on them. The gallery will focus on one artist at a time and does a great job presenting the art.

A magical place full of amazing people and art that will make you feel reconnected with your creative side!
