Have you heard of Creativity Explored? They are a non-profit art center and gallery in San Francisco where artists with developmental disabilities have been creating, exhibiting, and selling their art for 35 years. At stARTup Art Fair SF April 27-29 we will be collecting art supplies to donate to Creativity Explored’s dynamic program and we need your help!

Donated materials will be used for an art show happening during SF Design Week. If you would like to make a monetary donation please do so here, with “In/Visible Talks Materials Drive” in the notes section.
