Exhibition by artist Terry Watson showcasing work by autistic, learning disabled and neurodivergent artists from Sussex.
Make Your Mark opens at Colonnade House on 1 December, running through to 5 December. It's an exhibition celebrating the work of autistic, learning disabled and neurodivergent artists from across Sussex, and it's the result of a two-month artist-led creative programme that gave each artist the space to experiment, develop their practice and share their work on their own terms.
The project was created by artist Terry Watson, who describes it as a way to create opportunities, build confidence and make the arts more accessible. He talks about it as a celebration of inclusive creative spaces where artists can connect, explore new possibilities and shape their own futures within the cultural sector. The exhibition itself is the public side of that process, showing the work that came out of those two months of making.
It's funded by the Arts Council National Lottery Project Grants, and the whole thing is about giving artists the room to work their own way rather than fitting into a pre-set mould. If you've been following the local scene, you'll know that kind of space — where the process matters as much as the finished piece — is exactly what this is about.
