Art Explorers, Inc. is a creative arts program and progressive studio in Fort Bragg, California, serving physically disabled and neurodivergent adult artists. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation. Our mission is to provide a fun, nurturing, non-judgmental, and artistically stimulating environment for creativity to thrive!
"We believe that creative thought and expression is a universal right - without rules, restrictions, or cultural boundaries.

If you are in the D.C. area, swing by the opening reception for OUTSIDE FORCES from 5 - 7pm and celebrate Art Explorers studio artist, Mike Barnes, whose drawing "Angry Bigfoot" is is on display!
"Art Enables embraces these more expansive parameters in “Outside Forces.” Featured artists include individuals who are emerging and self-taught, are from traditionally underrepresented communities, and those with disabilities. All have paved their own way in the formation of their work, representing personal experiences and interests in individual styles developed outside the conventions of mainstream art education and culture."
