Creativity Explored has long been an outlet for local developmentally challenged adults to express their artistic visions. Now celebrating its 25th year, the nonprofit studio and gallery has much to be proud of: several of its artists, including Michael Bernard Loggins and Vincent Jackson, now have full-fledged careers, while the organization itself has done much to redefine "outsider art" as something inclusive and community-based. This retrospective affords the rare opportunity to see many early works by the two aforementioned program veterans, as well as newer pieces by residents who make good on Creativity Explored's mission to change lives through the power of art.
