Overview
Suffolk Artlink is seeking a skilled and inclusive artist to join Brave Art, our creative programme for adults with learning disabilities. In spring 2026, Brave Art will be a partner in Constable 250, marking 250 years since the birth of artist John Constable.
The selected artist will support three groups of learning disabled and neurodivergent artists to research, explore and create new work inspired by Constable’s life, paintings and creative processes. The project will culminate in a public exhibition in Christchurch Mansion in autumn 2026.
We believe diversity strengthens our organisation and drives innovation. We specifically encourage individuals from under-represented communities including global majority, Gypsy, Roma, Traveller, Showmen and Boater (GRTSB), d/Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent (DDN), LGBTQIA+ or who are from less affluent socio-economic backgrounds to apply.
