Founded by local artist Rachel Coleman (@shyfoxstudio822), the Creative Alliance began as a safe, inclusive support group for creatives navigating the ups and downs of making art. What started with a few artists has now blossomed into a thriving community of nearly 60 members, with monthly meetups, open studio events, and workshops that uplift and inspire.

This vibrant showcase, curated by Cherry Street Pier Resident Artist Michael Thomas (Studio 5), highlights the powerful, personal, and playful works of this ever-growing collective. From bold paintings to intimate mixed media, the exhibit celebrates the strength of artists supporting artists.
