About Abbie
Abbie is an ambitious artist who adores making. Bold in her use of techniques, there is nothing she cannot conquer! ‘I love going to Artbox! I have learned so much, doing different techniques and styles of art.’ The economic aspect has also been important, ‘I like going to art exhibitions and selling my art which I never got the opportunity to do [before].’
10 years, 10 designs
Our new range of Riso-printed cards, notebooks and prints celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Artbox opening. Each new product range contains 10 different designs created by the artists both in lockdown and in the Artbox studio and profits will be used to help fund our next 10 years of working with people with learning disabilities and autism. Buying from our new Riso range will enable Artbox to create a future where artists of all gifts and abilities are empowered and included.

Browse beautiful prints and fun, unique cards designed at Artbox London, a social enterprise showcasing and nurturing art by people with learning disabilities.
Artbox London is part gallery where art is exhibited and sold, part studio where artists take part in workshops to hone their techniques. All together it’s a space opening up the arts to people with learning disabilities, helping them gain financial independence and inviting them into a welcoming community.
There are also opportunities for artists outside of Artbox London HQ through trips to cultural spaces in London, such as galleries, museums and libraries. These trips are a chance for the artists to get inspiration, spend time in each other’s company and in some cases, build the confidence to visit these places on their own.
Half of the money from every sale goes to the artist behind that piece of work, with the other half funding the workshops and trips they run.
So, choose a piece of art from Artbox London and it will be a talking point for both its great design and brilliant backstory.
