ARTXV
ARTXV is a creative hub and community for disabled and neurodivergent artists, specialising in exploring emerging and alternative creative industries.
Centred around empowerment, inclusion and celebration...
ARTXV is introducing the world to one of a kind work and powerful stories from the neurodivergent community.
Founded by two sisters from London...
Ava and her sister Tara, an autistic, non-verbal artist, ARTXV’s story began when Ava discovered Tara’s gift for art when she brought home an incredible abstract painting.
ARTXV was born as a response...
to the lack of opportunities, recognition and appreciation for disabled and neurodivergent artists in the traditional art world after Ava struggled to find opportunities for her sister Tara.
From traditional art forms...
like collage, sketches, stippling and watercolour.
To experimental techniques...
like generative AI and blockchain art, the ARTXV collective has embraced all forms of art and has delved into a range of creative industries.
ARTXV's mission...
is to amplify the work and stories of the disabled and neurodivergent community that have long been undiscovered, showing the world the beauty and unique perspective that these artists bring to the art world.
Neurodiversity and Neurodivergence
Neurodiversity is simply neuro-diversity. The diversity of human minds and brain function.
Neurodivergence is brain function that differs to 'the norm'. It is an umbrella term for a number of different disabilities and conditions including autism, ADHD, OCD, BPD and synesthesia.
The Neurodiversity Movement
The Neurodiversity Movement refers to the growing movement within the community to change outdated misconceptions of what it means to be neurodivergent; instead of a disadvantage or hindrance, it is simply diversity!
Follow our journey at ARTXV as out artists receive the recognition and celebration they deserve - and in turn show the world the power and beauty of neurodiversity.
