For 15 years, Artbox London has created opportunities for learning disabled and autistic artists to develop their creative practice, share their work and be part of a growing artistic community.
Join us this November to celebrate 15 years of Artbox.
Come and discover artwork by more than 60 Artbox artists, with work available to buy. Meet our artists and hear about their work and experiences, take part in drop-in workshops led by our artist co-facilitators, and enjoy live performances by Artbox artists. Be among the first to see our new film series, created with support from Adobe and the London Community Foundation, and add your ideas to help shape what the next 15 years of Artbox could look like.

Built by a community
Artbox London began in 2011 with one two-hour workshop a week and a belief that learning disabled and autistic artists deserved more opportunities to create and be seen.
Fifteen years later, our community has grown - but people are still at the heart of everything we do.
Thank you to every artist, volunteer, family member, staff member, supporter and partner who has been part of Artbox.
15 years. 15 moments.

What could the next 15 years look like?
Artbox started with an idea. Now we’d like to hear yours.
As we celebrate 15 years of Artbox, we’re also thinking about what comes next.
What opportunities should there be for learning disabled and autistic artists? What would you like to see more of? And what could Artbox become over the next 15 years?
Visit the exhibition and add your ideas to the conversation.
