Beyond Trend this year is so much more than a fashion show or a fundraiser.

It’s soundscapes by @felakutchii , drag guest star performances by @oaklashdrag , and a joyful presentation of 100 local artists who have designed and modeled their own looks. It’s a fashion and art pop-up shop, a living gallery of expression, and for VIP guests, a Grammy Award–winning performance by Fantastic Negrito with dinner curated by Bay Area All Stars.

It’s also an opportunity to celebrate alongside cultural icons like Kim Hastreiter, MAC (Modern Appealing Clothing), Jerry Saltz, and Matthew Higgs.

But at its core, Beyond Trend is about raising essential funds to support not only artists with disabilities, but the role of art in all our lives.

Visit CreativeGrowth.org/BT2026 to purchase a ticket to this one of a kind event. We’ll see you May 30th at Ciel Creative Space.

In their conversation during OAF Talks + Performances, Sunny A. Smith (Executive Director, @creativegrowth) and Edward M. Gómez (Editor-in-chief, @brutjournal) pondered the global landscape of progressive studios. Tracing the history of the disability rights movement and the founding of the Katz family’s Bay Area studios in the 1970s, their dialogue shifted forward to the wider recognition disabled and neurodiverse artists have gained in the contemporary art world.

View the talk in full at the link in our bio!

Thank you to our co-sponsors, Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz, Diana Bowes, and Beth Rudin DeWoody for their support for this talk.

Opening Reception May 8th!

Meet Lawrence Choy 🏸 featured artist in the upcoming Home Show exhibition, May 8 - April 27

Drawn by the challenge of using racquets as a loom and frame, he began weaving ten colorful yarns through rackets, inventing his own approach with the help of Anne Meade, Creative Growth’s Fiber Art Facilitator.

Many of the rackets are donated by friends of Creative Growth gathered from rummage sales or pulled from personal collections.

For Lawrence, these pieces reminds him of learning to play tennis with his dad as a kid. He laughs thinking about how his father would chase down the balls while he practiced his swing.

Learn more about Lawrence and the Home Show exhibition through the link in our bio.
