Artists First is a group of disabled artists with learning difficulties. We believe that as a group we can support each other and that we can do powerful work together; things that we could not do alone.
We all have great stories to tell of how art has helped us. Watch this film featuring the artists to find out about who we are and what we do. Then explore further.
