About Center for Creative Works
Center for Creative Works is a unique working art studio for adults with developmental disabilities, located just outside of Philadelphia in Wynnewood, PA. Participating artists work in drawing and painting, printmaking, ceramics, woodworking, sculpture, textiles, design, music and other media. A staff of mentor artists teach professional materials and techniques, with the goal of developing participants as artists, artisans, and designers. We foster individual expression and skill development, promoting our artists’ work through public exhibitions, art fairs, and other events in the community.
CCW grew from the Lower Merion Vocational Training Center, which followed a sheltered workshop model, in which participants do traditional vocational contract work, like stuffing envelopes and shredding paper. Transforming into an arts program in 2010, CCW became a place for participants to explore creative ways to earn money, express themselves, engage with and contribute to their communities, and build artistic skills. Through exhibiting and selling artwork, working on contract design jobs, and developing products, artists are able to attain ownership over the work that they engage in, while developing sophisticated aesthetic sensibilities.
The artwork has been embraced by the greater Philadelphia arts community, and our artists have exhibited work at the Outsider Arts Fair, NYC; Outsider Arts Fair, St Louis; Crawford Gallery, Cork Ireland; Delaware County Community College Art Gallery; Woodmere Museum; Fleisher/Ollman Gallery; Pageant Soloveev Gallery; FJORD Gallery; Weird Days Gallery, NYC; the Free Library of Philadelphia, and many other venues.
