About Us
We are a collective empowering artists with lived experience of disability and neurodiversity to connect, collaborate, and showcase their work throughout Western Australia.
The group is supported by the Valued Lives Foundation and Empowered Connections, and proudly funded by the Department of Social Services. These partnerships strengthen our capacity to nurture creativity, build inclusive communities, and create opportunities for artists to share their voices.
Together, we’re working to ensure that artists with disability and neurodiversity are recognised, celebrated, and supported to thrive.
