Old Friends/New Friends was an exhibition celebrating Creativity Explored’s 40th anniversary at the end of 2023, curated by Natasha Boas. The exhibition told the tale of San Francisco’s artistic Mission District as a rhizome, exploring the connections between the fabled Mission School and the many Creativity Explored artists that came after.

Figuratively Speaking was an exhibition at the Creativity Explored gallery in spring of 2023, curated by art critic Hilton Als of The New Yorker.
