Mainspring Arts Network

Co-creating a national network for neurodivergent artists and developing commissions for ND artists.

Working with Mainspring Arts to build a national network supporting neurodivergent artists in developing their practice and accessing opportunities in the cultural sector.

The Network

As Network Lead, I work with a steering group of neurodivergent artists to co-create a supportive community that addresses the specific needs and celebrates the unique perspectives of ND practitioners.

Commissions

The network is developing a programme of commissions specifically designed for neurodivergent artists, ensuring accessible application processes and appropriate support throughout project delivery.

Approach

Central to this work is the principle of "nothing about us without us" – neurodivergent artists are leading the design and delivery of all network activities, ensuring the network truly serves their needs.
