ArtWorks is a not for profit creative arts organisation, inspiring and helping adults with learning disabilities, autism or both to achieve their potential and develop important life skills through creative workshops and placements. We support our artists to create and exhibit their artwork, participate in work placements within the creative industries and most importantly have fun! We focus on achievement, self-belief, collaborative practice and teamwork whilst supporting our artists to play an active role within their community. ArtWorks aims to challenge people’s perceptions of learning disabilities and autism through celebrating the creativity and ambition of our artists.

ArtWorks is based in Sheffield and Rotherham in South Yorkshire and accepts artists living in these areas.
