Crealdé at 50: Where Creativity Builds Community

50th Anniversary Exhibition opening October 24, 2025 from 7-10 PM.
This exhibition will be on view at the Showalter Hughes Community Gallery through January 25, 2026.

This celebratory exhibition marks Crealdé’s 50th Anniversary, featuring a curated selection of works by current and former faculty in painting, photography, ceramics, sculpture, and mixed media. These works reflect the school’s enduring values of artistic excellence, cultural expression, and mentorship.

The exhibition traces Crealdé’s evolution from its founding in 1975 to its current role as a nationally recognized center for community-based arts education. It also honors the organization’s deep-rooted commitment to preserving and amplifying diverse community narratives—work that has expanded Crealdé’s impact far beyond the studio walls.
