Research Question:How can art educators use the arts to develop an appreciation for difference and/or bridge cultural
divides?
Creative Growth Art Center serves adult artists with developmental, mental and physical disabilities,
providing a professional studio environment for artistic development, gallery exhibition and representation
and a social atmosphere among peers.
If you treat an individual as he is, he will stay as he is, but if you treat him as if he were what he ought to
be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.

How can I be inclusive to people with disabilities in my art practice and as an art
teacher?
How can I emulate the uninhibited creativity and freshness of the
Creative Growth students’ work in my art?
How can I promote ways of understanding how a mentally disabled person thinks and
views the world?

New Zealand, Opens October 7, 5-9pm.Creative Growth hosts an exhibition of self-taught artwork from France and New Zealand, exploring the phenomenon of the untrained
