Our Mission
To be a centre of excellence that supports artists with intellectual disabilities, promoting their work and advocating for inclusion within contemporary art practice.
We’ve been promoting the work of artists with an intellectual disability for 37 years, developing our studio and gallery to further artists’ place in society and the art world. How do we do that?
Our approach
Arts Project Australia supports artists in the studio by:
- Encouraging individual artistic expression and personal style
- Providing high quality materials and a range of media
- Promoting the work as integral to the broad spectrum of contemporary art
- Connecting with other artists, studios and galleries

The Arts Project Australia studio functions in a similar way to a tertiary art environment where artists work on developing an original and authentic artistic “voice” supported by artsworkers who provide feedback and critical advice.
Here, art is not taught, but rather the innate creative direction and approach of each artist is nurtured to elicit works of personal meaning and style.
Work is promoted on its aesthetic and artistic merits amongst the wider arts community, and many of the artists enjoy participation in mainstream exhibitions and events.
