Creative Growth Partners with Farley’s to Celebrate Art, Community, and Connection
We’re excited to announce a new partnership between Creative Growth and Farley’s East in Oakland—an independent neighborhood café known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and long-standing commitment to supporting the arts.
This summer, Farley’s will host a special exhibition of artwork by Creative Growth artists, bringing our community’s creativity into a cozy, everyday setting where people gather over coffee, conversation, and connection. The show includes a selection of bold and expressive works, including Coffee Trees by Nick Pagan—a fitting tribute to the café setting and the spirit of Creative Growth.
Creative Growth is also the latest featured nonprofit in Farley’s Give Back Program. From the legendary Farley’s SF Holiday Art Show produced by the Janet Pomeroy Center to monthly happy hours at Farley’s East, Farley’s has held space for local nonprofits since 1989. In 2020, the café launched the Quarterly Give Back Program to stay true to its “Do Good & Give Back” values—even amid the challenges of the pandemic.
Through this program, Farley’s partners with local nonprofits to lift up their stories and amplify their impact through sales of the Give Back Blend and curated gift boxes. Since its launch, the program has raised over $5,000 for organizations across the Bay Area.
As part of this ongoing initiative, $5 from every bag of the Creative Growth Give Back Blend will go directly toward supporting our studio program and the artists who make our mission possible.
So stop by for a cup, enjoy the artwork, and if something speaks to you—take it home. Select pieces from the exhibition are available for purchase, making it easy to live with and support Creative Growth art every day.
We're proud to partner with a business that shares our belief in the power of creativity to connect, uplift, and build community.
