Creativity Explored

Creativity Explored, situated in San Francisco, serves as a vital sanctuary for artists with developmental disabilities, fostering an environment rich in support and encouragement. Through individualized instruction from mentoring artists, participants have access to high-quality art materials and professional opportunities to showcase their work.

After visiting Creativity Explored, Melody Hesaraky was profoundly inspired by the remarkable artwork produced by these talented creators. Their ability to convey thoughts and emotions through art resonated deeply with her, revealing a rawness and truthfulness that is often hard to express in words. In tribute to the impactful experiences at Creativity Explored, Melody has created a series of textile designs that draw from the essence of the artists' work. Each piece reflects the unique narratives and identities of the creators, celebrating their perspectives and emotions. This collection stands as a testament to the beauty of artistic expression and the transformative power of community support in the arts.
