Artscope

Since 1997, Artscope has successfully provided opportunities in the visual arts for artmakers with disabilities through a dynamic on-going programme of activities, including:

• Studio-based practice
• Collaborative projects with other arts organisations
• High profile exhibitions
• Community arts-based projects
• Professional training in the arts
• Working with practising artists
• Website gallery

“Artscope is a hugely important resource for artists with learning disabilities.  It really gives them intensive support to develop both artistically and personally and there should be more services like it."

Naomi Kendall – Director – Action Space

To encourage creative expression and practical artmaking, we provide our artmakers with opportunities for artistic exploration and social interaction through a variety of techniques.

With the help and guidance of professional artists and arts practitioners in a studio environment, we are able to offer a variety of projects and opportunities to encourage and develop artistic skills.

Artscope has consistently been an excellent and unique model of good practice for provision of arts opportunities for adults with learning difficulties.”

By providing access to real creative opportunities in the visual arts, Artscope aims to bring the work of artists with disabilities into the public domain, demonstrating its commitment to breaking down barriers between 'mainstream' and what has traditionally been considered 'disability art'.

“Artscope is an innovative example of good practice in the field of learning disability and the arts.”

Liz Ellis - Artist Educator - Tate Britain/Modern
