Artists
Behind every work, a person with a name.
Trained painters, artisans holding living traditions, and creators who came to the work by another route. Selection is on the work.
Persons with physical, intellectual or developmental disabilities
For artists
Every artist here was once a stranger with photographs.
A trained painter, a mural artisan, a homemaker who worked at the kitchen table for eleven years before anybody saw it. None of them arrived through an introduction. They sent us their work, and it was good.
No account. Nothing to pay. Send a few photographs and a note about what you make — a person at the studio looks at every one and picks up the phone. Selection is on the work, and it always has been.
Submit your work
Then AARTY calls you.
Somebody from the studio telephones within 24 hours to talk about the work —
whether the answer is yes or not yet. No form letter, and nobody is left
waiting to find out. If you are under 18 we speak to the parent or guardian
you name on the form.
