Boundless - Connecting Artists
"Boundless - Connecting Artists" is a exhibition of work from 25 inspiring artists that recently showed in London.
Some of the artists have learning disabilities, learning difficulties, mental health needs, or conditions such as Aspergers Syndrome and dyslexia. It featured an range of work, including photography, abstract and figurative painting, drawing, digital art and cartoons, much of it by people who have led lives far removed from the mainstream of society.
Three artists who are supported by United Response were been selected to take part in the exhibition. Boundless was conceived to introduce the work of artists such as these to the wider artistic community, by exhibiting them in a prominent London gallery, alongside non-disabled artists.
Four leading learning disability organisations are backed Boundless - Connecting Artists (Choice Support, United Response, Regard Partnership and the Skillnet Group). The aim of the event was to celebrate the work of the artists taking part and to show that disability does not get in the way of talent.
The exhibition took place at the prestigious Bankside Gallery in London, from 21st July to 27th July 2008.
