The Annual Holiday Art Sale at Creativity Explored is an art lover’s shopping extravaganza, with a multitude of remarkable art—and this year we’re giving 30% off all original artwork to celebrate our 30^th anniversary in 2013!

We’ve filled the studio with prints, paintings, drawings, ceramics, sculptures, and textiles by over 130 artists—including unique pieces saved for this very occasion.

This year’s exciting limited edition items include a tote bag featuring one of Christina Marie Fong's popular money drawings ($100 bill), a set of eight bold abstract art greeting cards, hand-screened t-shirts, bright wrapping paper, and journals.

Like all Creativity Explored exhibitions, one-half of the proceeds from the sale of every artwork goes directly to the artist.

Join us to see (Pre)Fabricators artists' projects in progress.

Meet the five teams of students from the Fabricators ENGAGE at CCA (California College of the Arts) class and art critic, curator, writer, and educator Glen Helfand as they present Creativity Explored artists' projects in progress.

On November 15, teams of three CCA students, who are serving as project managers for CE artists Thanh My Diep, Christina Marie Fong, Camille Holvoet, Lance Rivers, and Natalie Spring, will reveal sketches as well as the narratives of working together on this unique venture.

The fabricated artworks (inspired by CE artists and manufactured by CCA ENGAGE students in partnership with IDEO) will be exhibited at Jack Fischer Gallery, 49 Geary Street, December 12 through 22, 2012. Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, December 15 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
