Become an Artist
About our workshops:
Our daytime workshops are for adults with learning disabilities and autistic people. Often the people we work with have faced barriers to full inclusion in society. We do charge a fee for our service but most of our artists cover this through their personal budgets/social worker. Our team will discuss pricing for the service when you apply.
Art workshops take place at our studio near Caledonian Road in Islington, London.
We have sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10am - 1pm and 2pm - 5pm.
Artists can stay in the studio for lunch from 1-2pm.
About becoming an Artbox artist:

Our team can support you to paint, draw, print and sculpt.
You can decide what you want to make and how you make it.
Volunteers will help you if you like.
Our team can also support you to make new friends, communicate about your art and attend supported trips to museums, galleries and gardens.
Further opportunities at Artbox:
We have other opportunities to show and sell your artwork.
If your artwork sells you will receive part of the profits.
You will only participate in exhibitions and sales if you want to.
The main focus of Artbox is to make art and have fun!
We also run trips throughout the year. These can be to big museums and galleries or trips to explore and get inspired by the local area.
