ARTBOX LONDON

Artbox London works with People with Learning Disabilities and Autism (PwLDA) in Islington and the surrounding boroughs. We provide a varied programme of activities that provide opportunities for PwLDA to meet socially and explore art. Our main activities are workshops, open-access studio sessions, exhibitions and trips to art galleries and museums.
