The Art and Design Studio, based at Orwell Arts in Edinburgh, enables individual artists to develop and exhibit their work. The artists have access to high quality materials and support, giving them space to explore and express their creative voice. Each artist is facilitated to produce a body of work to exhibition standard and their work is shown in a variety of contemporary mainstream settings in Edinburgh and beyond.

Artists with learning disabilities face a number of barriers to the mainstream art world. We endeavour to break these down by focusing on their abilities and showcasing the quality, diversity and warmth of their work. Please note that at this stage the artwork displayed in this section is not currently available for sale—watch this space for updates on the availability of artwork.
