Art Explorers, Inc. is a creative arts program and progressive studio in Fort Bragg, California, serving physically disabled and neurodivergent adult artists. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation. Our mission is to provide a fun, nurturing, non-judgmental, and artistically stimulating environment for creativity to thrive!
"We believe that creative thought and expression is a universal right - without rules, restrictions, or cultural boundaries. Our studio is an inclusive space that upholds this belief and our philosophy is rooted in a total respect for individuals and their communities, and in the foundation that all people have a unique artistic voice that deserves to be heard."
This year we collaborated with our friends at the Noyo Center for Marine Science on a t-shirt for Whale Fest 2026! Original design by AE studio artist, Kristin Hock. Swing by the studio on March 21, from 9am - 3pm for the Downtown Wine Walk!
Please join us as we celebrate the life of our dear friend, Kevin Pearl.
Together we’ll gather to honor and remember an incredible man who was a part of the Fort Bragg community for decades.
The evening will include live music by Erin Brazill, performing a mix of Kevin’s favorite songs. Kevin’s artwork will be on display, with a small selection of unframed pieces available for purchase on a sliding-scale, donation basis. There will also be a memorial shrine where guests are invited to contribute written memories, drawings, or meaningful objects.
Join us at the Art Explorers Studio 333 N Franklin St., on First Friday, March 6 from 5:00–7:00 PM to share stories, music, laugh, and to remember this incredible person.
