Creative Growth Fashion Tour | Oakland Style 2026

Oakland Style Week x Inside the Creative Growth Fashion Program Tour & Demo As part of Oakland Style Week, Creative Growth Art Center invites you join a behind-the-scenes look at our celebrated Fashion Program. Creative Growth Art Center is an art studio and gallery championing artists with disabilities in the East Bay and our artists develop couture garments within the studio. Our courture clothes have been featured in Harpers Bazzar, WWD, Vogue, PAPER Magazine and more.
