Summary:
"Who gets to make art, and who gets to define it? For the past 40 years, San Francisco nonprofit Creativity Explored has sought to broaden the answers to these questions by providing artists with developmental disabilities the opportunity to make and share their work with the contemporary art world. Art Is Art is a powerful collection of hundreds of perspectives and pieces created in Creativity Explored's studios by this talented community of neurodiverse artists. Featuring original paintings, drawings, sculptures, and more-as well as quotes from and stories about the artists-this collection invites readers to reexamine their perceptions about disability, justice, and the beauty of art"-- Provided by publisher.
