Creative Citizen Studios (CCS) works with artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities to make, exhibit, and sell their work. The CCS + CDCP Fellowship paired CCS artists with Pittsburgh-based artists. 

In March of 2020 six artist pairs met virtually to begin their partnerships. Adapting to the constraints of the global pandemic artists exchanged drawings, worked independently and traded pieces back and forth, and finally met in person to further develop their collaborative projects. Using a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, and photography, the pieces in this exhibition show a culmination of many hours of collaborative creative exchange.

We’re excited to be able to share the work of artist pairs: 

Autumn Randall + Tereneh Idia 
Faron Thompson + Matthew Van Asselt
Jami Johnson + Alexandra Lakin
Matthew Carroll + Fran Flaherty
Mick Fisher + Curtis Reaves
William Taylor + atiya jones

The CCS + CDCP Fellowship Exhibition is up at the CDCP Project Space (317 S. Trenton) Saturday, August 29th - Sunday, September 13th.

The opening reception is by appointment only on Saturday, August 29th from 1 - 8 PM. Each artist pair will “host” an hour long reception with 10 time slots available every half hour.

Masks are required. Gallery hours are Saturdays and Sundays 11 - 4pm.
