Deaf autistic artists showcase work in Margate

The art studio aims to provide a "kind of sanctuary" for artists

Deaf, autistic and neurodivergent artists are showcasing their work as part of an annual exhibition in Margate.

The 12 artists exhibiting at The Margate School are part of the Sandra Art4All art studio, which is based in Acol near Manston in Kent.

Drawings, paintings and photographs feature in the 'Proud 2 Create Summer Exhibition', which is the studio's fifth exhibition at the not-for-profit school.

The exhibition opened last Wednesday and will run until 30 August.

Sandra Hampton, who runs Art4All, said the exhibition was "a great way to start discussions around art and our very different abilities".

Among those who will be exhibiting their work are Bethany Davies and Dalibor Kovac Stokes, who have also been selected to be part of the Portfolio Summer Show 2024 at the Turner Contemporary which runs until 1 September.
