odd art hits paris

Creativegrowth

In 1974, when Elias and Florence Katz founded the Creative Growth Art Center in the San Francisco Bay Area with the intention of showcasing the work of artists with developmental, physical, and mental disabilities, they never thought that 34 years later they’d be opening the doors to an international outpost. But this week in the Canal St. Martin neighborhood in Paris, the couple is opening Galerie Impaire (”the odd gallery”), thereby marking “an important step in the evolution of how artists with disabilities are being seen as part of the contemporary art world” says CGAC director Tom di Maria. In its quest to blur lines, the space will show works from artists with disabilities (such as William Scott, above) alongside bodies of work by contemporary, self-taught artists, including a Creative Growth artist portrait series by New York photographer Cheryl Dunn.Galerie Impaire, 47 rue de Lancry, Paris, 75003.
