A Place to Create

Adult Developmental Activities department believes that all people, regardless of disability, can gain strength, enjoyment and pleasure from creative art experiences.

A Place To Create opened in August of 1998 in downtown New Albany and is a fully staffed studio and gallery, giving Rauch’s ADA clients an opportunity express themselves through the arts.

Visiting artists routinely assist at A Place To Create and artwork is displayed for viewing and purchase.  Much of the art might be considered “outsider art”, “ founder art” or perhaps “recycled art”.  Community donations and items others may no longer have use for can often time become an integral part of a creative art piece.

Behind The Seen

Abstract Expressionism? Found Art? Assemblages?

Colors, merging, muted with altered objects causing one to look CLOSER to discern the individual objects and how they blend into a new image. 

Sculptured items, painted or imposing on their environs, calling to be noticed. 

First impressions come QUICKLY,

but what is “Behind The Seen” can be informative, curious and engaging. 

These visual manifestations, Art, challenge the spectator to

MOVE CLOSER AND FOCUS.

As it is for people with disabilities, they like the creative Objects you see, ask to be noticed.  Ask to be valued, NOT for what might be a first impression,

BUT for what is “Behind The Seen”.
