ABOUT
ABOUT THE COMPETITION
Allow Us To Introduce Ourselves
Artworks Together is a brand-new international arts exhibition offering people with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism the opportunity to showcase their artistic talents to the world.
It is managed and run by a dedicated team with years of experience directly supporting artists with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism.
Who Can Enter?
The ArtWorks Together International Learning Disability and Autism Arts Competition is open to all artists with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism.
Submissions are open internationally, meaning that you are welcome to submit your work to the competition from anywhere in the world.
You must be over the age of 16 to submit your work.
What is it About?
Our goal has always been to support the creative practice of adults with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism.
We wholeheartedly recognise that opportunities do not present themselves to all people in equal measure. We are determined to minimise the effect living with a Learning Disability and Autism has on a person's right to participate within the arts.
