Festivals ArtWorks Together 2026 International Exhibition
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: September 14, 2025 – ArtWorks Together is an international festival, offering adult artists who have a learning disability, are autistic, or both, the opportunity to showcase their artistic talents to the entire world to gain the recognition they deserve.
Our goal has always been to support the creative practice of adults who have a learning disability, are autistic or both. We wholeheartedly recognise that opportunities do not present themselves to all people in equal measure. We are determined to minimise the effect living with a learning disability and/or on the autism spectrum has on a person’s right to participate within the arts.
VENUE
Selected artists will have their work showcased in the ArtWorks Together International Exhibition at the Millennium Gallery in Sheffield from January – May 2026.
ELIGIBILITY
ArtWorks Together international exhibition call out is open to adult artists (16+) who have a learning disability under the UK’s NHS definition of the condition, and/or who are on the autism spectrum only. Please note that individuals who experience other forms of neurodivergence or learning difficulties alone are not eligible for this call-out.
The artwork can be about anything you choose. Artwork in all media is accepted, including but not limited to: drawing, painting, print, calligraphy, embroidery, sculpture, film, photography, digital art. The works must not contain any material bound by copyright law for non-use.
APPLY ONLINE – No Fee
