Book Overview

Providing innovative art programs to adults with developmental, physical, mental, and emotional disabilities, Creative Growth Art Center in Oakland, California, is the oldest and largest nonprofit visual art center in the country. The outsider artists of Creative Growth produce extraordinary work -- painting, sculpture, drawing, collage -- that can only come from within.

One is Adam, One is Superman offers the viewer a window into the lives and creative souls of these exceptional individuals.
