WEBworks

WEBworks is a pioneering and innovative autistic-led project originating from Arts Council England funded research. We are a peer support and mentoring group of autistic and neurodivergent creatives.

• We provide a consultancy and advice service for arts organisations.

• Our research focus is autistic professionalism in creative practice.

WEBworks is currently supported through Arts Council funding.


Our current venture provides a platform for WEBworks artists on the #NUNO Neither Use Nor Ornament exhibition programme alongside MfOR artists.
