When disaster strikes, the art community responds. In the wake of the recent wildfires in Los Angeles, artists and cultural institutions have rallied together to support those affected. From benefit exhibitions to fundraising initiatives, creativity is fueling relief efforts—offering both financial assistance and a sense of solidarity.

Creative Growth Art Center is honored to be part of this movement. At the upcoming Outsider Art Fair in New York, a featured piece by Dan Miller will be sold to support wildfire relief, with proceeds benefiting both the Grief and Hope fundraiser and Creative Growth. This initiative underscores our belief in the transformative power of art—not just as a means of self-expression but as a tangible way to uplift communities in times of crisis.

Miller, a longtime Creative Growth artist, is known for his layered text-based works that merge language and abstraction. His contributions to the fair serve as a bridge between outsider art and the urgent need for recovery, reinforcing the idea that art can be both personal and profoundly impactful.

As an organization dedicated to providing a creative space for artists with disabilities, Creative Growth understands the importance of community-driven support. The intersection of art and advocacy is at the heart of what we do, and we’re proud to stand alongside fellow artists and institutions working toward relief and rebuilding.

For those looking to support these efforts, attending the Outsider Art Fair or contributing to one of the many benefit exhibitions is a direct way to help artists and cultural workers impacted by the wildfires. Art has always been a vehicle for resilience—this moment is no different.
