Upcoming events
Creativity Explored x OPEN INVITATIONAL Art Fair
Claraty Arts is participating in the Open Invitational x Creativity Explored Art Fair during San Francisco’s annual Art Week. The studio will showcase works by Aarmon Douval, Zach Mabert, Marshall Woodall, and Zach Mabert. We intend to bring work from some of our other artists as space allows.
Creativity Explored is thrilled to bring an art fair championing artists with disabilities to downtown San Francisco! Partnering with The Open Invitational, we'll bring together progressive studios from across the country, providing individual funding so that studios can join when other fairs have traditionally been out of reach. Free and open to the public, the fair will expand SF Art Week's offerings to encompass these important artworks, artists and studios; catalyzing the long-overdue cultural dialogue of who is exhibited, who is collected, and who is discussed.

ABOUT THE FAIR:
THE OPEN INVITATIONAL is a new fair dedicated to progressive art studios showcasing the work of artists with disabilities, with the aim of building our artists’ careers and in the process dismantling outmoded hierarchies in the contemporary art world. With openness as our guiding principle we seek to broaden public awareness of progressive art studios and disseminate incredible, unique, and urgent art to collectors and institutions.
OPEN INVITATIONAL was founded by gallerist David Fierman/ FIERMAN Gallery and arts patron Ross McCalla / The Outsider Institute.
