London-based arts charity Artbox has announced its annual celebration, which will see the organisation celebrating the unique creativity and individuality of the artists who have made their work there.
The charity and social enterprise offers an art studio where artists with learning difficulties and people with autism can express their creative side, alongside art workshops, trips, exhibitions and sales opportunities to supplement this.
Now, the work of the 90 artists who travel to Artbox’s studio in Islington every week will be celebrated at the Jean Stokes Community Centre in North London between the 4th October and the 13th October 2025.
Among Artbox’s most well-known artists is Seatton, as seen in the video below, who made the artwork for CMAT‘s celebrated 2023 album Crazymad, for Me. The YouTube channel also highlights the other work of several equally brilliant artists who attend Artbox.
The exhibition, a collaboration with Museum Studio, will also offer a private view on opening day, on the 4th October between 6pm – 8:30pm.
As per an official release, the exhibition offers “a snapshot of the multitude of diverse voices that make up the Artbox community. It celebrates the individuality of their artists and also the shared space of the studio, where they come together every week to make art, build friendships, and explore creativity. This exhibition and show offers a small glimpse into the energy, care, imagination and joy that happens at Artbox every day”.
As for the work that Artbox do every day, it explains how the programme addresses the lack of “tailored, ongoing support for learning disabled and autistic artists—individuals who are frequently excluded from traditional artistic platforms and professional development routes. Our programme is focused on individual development journeys.
“Each artist receives targeted support, including mentoring and skills-based training, in techniques such as painting, printmaking, model making, ceramics, puppetry, co-facilitating workshops, cataloguing their artwork and more. In response, participants show increased engagement, a stronger sense of agency, and demand for new challenges. Our studio provides a safe, inclusive environment where artists can explore their creativity, build confidence, and learn new techniques through both guided workshop and a wide range of specialist sessions led by visiting artists.”
