I’m very pleased to announce I am one of the judges for the Spectrum Art Award. Alongside Larry Achiampong & Alison Wilding I will be joining Mary Simpson, Sacha Craddock @sachacraddock and Professor Simon Baron-Cohen.
The Award was established in 2017 to create a platform and a professional network for autistic artists to enable them to access opportunities that might otherwise be closed or difficult to access.
Autism creates challenges but also a unique perspective on the world. The Award recognises this; providing a public platform for creative individuals on the spectrum to articulate and define their life experiences - and an opportunity for them to reach their full potential.
The first Spectrum Art Award achieved more than we could have hoped for. Culminating with a critically acclaimed exhibition in 2018 at the prestigious Saatchi Gallery, London, it generated coverage including T.V, national press and specialist art journals, reaching a global audience in excess of 374 million.
