TO LOOK UP / Thank you to Tess Thackara & The Art Newspaper for covering this topic. Great to see Project Art Works Art et al. @TDS_Gallery & Thompson Hall (ActionSpace) featured! About the recognition of disabled & neurodivergent artists & how they are treated within the arts.

Art et al. is featured in the latest issue of The Arts Newspaper examining neurodiversity in the artworld mainstream. “The pandemic year has brought questions of access and disability rights into new focus, and the artworld is paying attention” - Tess Thackara #ArtEtAl

Advocates and dealers caution that, while recognition and prices are growing, there are still plenty of barriers to entry for “outsider” artists into the art market, and the risk of exploitation remains high. ow.ly/vW6Y50FNnBS
