Become a Mark Maker and give monthly to support disabled artists

Your generosity is needed now more than ever – join CE's monthly donors and help secure a space for neurodivergent artists, for life.
Over the course of 42 years, our organization has become a mainstay of the San Francisco arts community and an indispensable home base for neurodivergent artists and their families. Now, we're asking you to step up for CE during uncertain times. 2025 has already been a challenging year for nonprofits. Challenges to our social safety net have caused fear, loss and uncertainty for many in the community, including the people with disabilities at the heart of our community.
Become a Mark Maker and help sustain CE's important work when it's needed most. Donate $5 or more per month to provide a safe, creative space every day for CE artists, and get access to exclusive benefits!
By becoming a monthly donor, you can sustain our artists' home base for years to come. As a Mark Maker, you will help us maintain a secure foundation, month after month. Creativity Explored is a unique safe haven for disabled artists, where they can engage in practice, access essential resources, and build autonomy. Recent federal policy developments targeting arts organizations have the potential to harm our artists’ well-being and damage systems of care. Supporting CE as a Mark Maker means safeguarding a legacy space for artists with disabilities. As the nature of our communities evolve, we’ll be increasing our commitment to advocacy for the safety of our artists. We hope you will join Mark Makers as a monthly donor to secure a sense of longevity for the CE community.We’re committed to CE's artists all the way – join us for the ride?
