An exhibition is showcasing artwork by people with learning disabilities and autism, organised by Oxfordshire charity Yellow Submarine.
An exhibition showcasing artwork by people with learning disabilities and autism is running from 19 to 30 October at Conways of Oxford in the city centre. The display is organised by Oxfordshire charity Yellow Submarine in partnership with the optician, and features work created by Yellow Submarine's adult members as part of the charity's activities.
The pieces were made as part of the art project This is My Oxford, supported by the Oxford Community Impact Fund. The project gave participants the opportunity to creatively explore and express what the city means to them. It was led by artists Anne Griffiths and Mark Clay, and concluded with a visit to the Mayor's Parlour, hosted by the Lord Mayor.
Mark Clay, an artist and administrator at Yellow Submarine, said members loved sharing their thoughts and feelings of Oxford during the project. A Yellow Submarine spokesperson described the charity as award-winning and said it believes people with learning disabilities and autism deserve to live life to the full. The partnership with Conways of Oxford is part of a wider collaboration between the two organisations.
