Creativity Explored
× Open Invitational
The largest Open Invitational presentation to date — 24 progressive studios and socially engaged art organizations from across the United States and beyond.
Creativity Explored × Open Invitational marked the largest iteration of Open Invitational to date.
Fully funded philanthropically, the fair brought together 24 exhibitors in San Francisco during SF Art Week and provided stipends to 12 participating studios to help ease the cost of participation.
Presented in partnership with Creativity Explored, the fair expanded Open Invitational's mission to build visibility, market access, and cultural recognition for artists with disabilities and artists working within progressive studio communities.
