Créahm, founded in 1979 in Liège, stimulates the creativity of adults with intellectual disabilities. Créahm encompasses studios, a day center, overnight accommodations, and a museum, with art and life as central pillars. In studios for visual arts, performing arts, and digital arts, coaches guide the artists with respect for their individuality and talents. This approach fosters self-expression, self-esteem, and personal growth. The artworks and performances are showcased both in Belgium and internationally.
