About Us

Pioneers in providing creative arts and life skill programs, and support to adults with disabilities for almost 25 years!

Studio ARTES is where creativity meets community! We provide adults with disabilities a supportive space to explore their passions through capacity building visual arts, performing arts, and life skills programs. Whether it's working towards goals, exploring creative ventures, or unleashing their artistic flair, our members are empowered to reach for the stars.

We also assist families in navigating the ever-changing landscape of funding and support, staying true to our values of inclusion, equity, and respect. At Studio ARTES, everyone belongs, and the opportunities are endless!

Founded in 2000 and proudly based in Sydney, Australia, Studio ARTES has been lighting up lives across New South Wales by supporting over 250 adults with disabilities. Our doors are open to individuals aged 17 and up with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, physical disabilities, Down syndrome, and more. Whether through our dynamic group sessions, personalized one-on-one support, or exciting community access programs, we’re all about empowering our members from our studios in Hornsby and Sydenham. At Studio ARTES, we’re not just a service—we’re a vibrant, inclusive community where everyone has the chance to shine!
