🌈 Creative Growth x Primary Kids

A Limited-Edition Collection Supporting Artists with Developmental Disabilities, Launching Online Nationwide on May 15, 2025

We’re so excited to share a special collaboration between Creative Growth Art Center and Primary Kids, celebrating Primary’s 10th anniversary with a joyful new capsule collection. Launching May 15, 2025, the collection features 10 limited-edition graphic tees, each one showcasing original artwork by Creative Growth artists. These vibrant, expressive designs are more than just clothing—they’re a celebration of identity, creativity, and inclusion.

For over 50 years, Creative Growth has championed artists with developmental disabilities, and this partnership reflects that mission through a new medium: wearable art for the whole family.

“Our entire team is so inspired by the incredible work Creative Growth has been doing – for over 50 years!”
— Galyn Bernard, co-Founder & co-CEO of Primary

“Primary’s commitment to playful, intentional design aligns beautifully with our mission at Creative Growth. This collaboration isn't just about style; it’s about celebrating self-expression, championing accessibility, and inviting new audiences to connect with the powerful work of artists with disabilities.”
— Ibby Sasso, Director of Marketing at Creative Growth
