ArtWorks South Yorkshire

We are ArtWorks and we make artists. ArtWorks is a not-for-profit arts organisation that exists to enable people with learning disabilities and/or autism to realise their potential. From our four community-based art studios in Barnsley, Rotherham and Sheffield our artists make ambitious work, for the joy of making art and to connect with audiences. Through creative workshops and volunteering opportunities our artists develop new skills, collaborate with others and discover hidden talents.

Artists Who Inspire

ArtWorks focuses on collaborative practice and teamwork, providing a safe studio environment where our artists can be creative, adventurous and challenge perceptions of disability arts.
