The Creativity Explored X Open Invitational marks a new art fair in downtown San Francisco, presented through a partnership between Creativity Explored and The Open Invitational, centering artists with disabilities. FREE and open to the public, the fair brings together progressive studios from across the country—offering individual funding to make participation accessible—and expands SF Art Week by spotlighting artists and artworks often excluded from the traditional art fair circuit, igniting vital conversations about inclusion, visibility, and representation in contemporary art.
