ArtWorks Together
International Festival
24th January - 15th June
ArtWorks Together is an international festival, offering adult artists who have a learning disability, are autistic or both, the opportunity to showcase their talents to the entire world, gaining the recognition they deserve.
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to fully participate in arts and culture. By providing a platform for underrepresented artists to showcase their work on an international stage, we aim to raise their aspirations, inspire confidence and empower their talent to flourish freely within the creative sector.
Established by
ArtWorks South Yorkshire
ArtWorks South Yorkshire is a non-profit creative arts organisation, supporting adults who have a learning disability, are autistic or both to flourish creatively and develop important life skills through creative workshops and placements.
Our service provides a safe and accommodating environment for the ArtWorks artists to explore their own artistic passions. Our number one priority has always been to enrich the arts landscape through empowering a diverse range of voices and perspectives. A vital part of this mission is hosting regular exhibitions that showcase these artists' incredible talent to the public, on an equal footing with non-disabled artists.
“We want to galvanise change within the arts and celebrate the works of so many incredibly talented artists who have a learning disability, are autistic or both, who are currently significantly underrepresented in the sector.”
– Kayleigh Cruickshank, Director at ArtWorks
Free In Schools Workshops
Maybe you have a class or a group of 10-15 students who are keen artists or ready to try something new. We are offering free in school workshops for SEND pupils. At ArtWorks, 'we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to fully participate in the arts and culture'. The creative workshops will be led festival producer Gemma and ArtWorks artists using inspiration from original artwork from our international festival exhibition. We will be running sessions in schools until the end of June.
