Who can take part in Artbox London?

We work with learning disabled and/or autistic adults (18+). Often the people we work with have complex support needs and face barriers to full inclusion in society. If you're unsure whether someone is eligible, feel free to reach out and we’ll be happy to help.

Do I need to be an experienced artist to take part?

Not at all! Some of our artists have been creating for years, while others are completely new to art. Everyone is welcome.

What kind of support do you offer?

Our sessions are led by trained artists and support staff. We provide small group support and can provide 1:1 support, depending on each artist’s needs, and tailor activities to individual interests and goals.
