GOOD Agency x Artbox Christmas Jumpers
GOOD Agency has collaborated with Artbox London’s learning disabled and neurodivergent artists and commissioned four unique Christmas jumpers.
A portion of each sale goes to the studios to support the artists & ensure they can continue to create, develop, exhibit, sell & licence their artwork.
MEET THE ARTISTS
Artbox London is a registered charity and social enterprise that runs a programme of art workshops, cultural trips, hosts exhibitions and creates sales opportunities for learning disabled and neurodivergent artists.
Our workshops are hosted in our accessible and welcoming studio space in Islington. Our workshops allow artists to explore their creative interests and develop their artistic skills using a variety of techniques and materials. These sessions are abuzz with creativity and conversation as our artists paint, draw, print, sculpt and make friends or work independently. Working with our team of Art Facilitators and volunteers, the artists make striking original artworks, expressing their individuality and unique personalities.

Shruti
Shruti has been coming to Artbox for many years and identifies as an artist. She says “I feel more comfortable doing art [than in] the rest of my life”.
In addition to being very focused in the studio, she produces artwork out of the studio and visits galleries looking for inspiration. Her main inspiration has been her own mantras as of late. She has been taking a meditative approach to her work and includes affirmations like “relaxed”, “slowly” and “calm”. Shruti shares these affirmations with others and her presence alone is enough to relax those around her.
