We’re launching our studio with WE ARE, our first public exhibition presented by Blacktown Arts on Saturday 23 September.

Don’t miss this accessible, afternoon-long celebration featuring the voices and stories of some of Western Sydney’s most exciting artists with disability!

Capacity is limited, so get in quick to reserve your spot at the launch event of the year!

We Are Studios was established in 2023 by a community of Artists with disability who believe that disability inclusion can and should start with us.

The first of our kind, We Are Studios is a fully disability-led, inclusive studio that empowers artists with disability to reach their creative potential by creating space to thrive.

Our team have experienced first-hand the barriers people living with disability face in accessing accessible arts education, professional development pathways, and the opportunities needed to build a thriving and sustainable creative practice.

We address these barriers by providing mentorship, networking and professional development opportunities to creatives with disability across Western Sydney and advocating for their inclusion within the contemporary creative arts sector.
