THE STUDIO HUB RUNS MONTHLY AT THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY ON A THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND ALLOWS OUR PAST MEMBERS ALONGSIDE OTHER AUTISTIC ADULTS TO ACCESS THE COLLECTIONS AND TO CREATE THEIR OWN WORK.
Under the guidance of artist Marc Woodhead and Belinda Sculley from National Portrait Gallery, the group is also supported by a team of Turtle Key Arts pastoral workers. The members of the group are working towards an exhibition at the gallery in 2027.
Turtle Key Arts have been running projects aimed at autistic young people for the last 25 years. This has resulted in us getting to know and engaging with certain individuals from the age of 10 through to 30 when they graduate from our Key Club. We have always wanted to create an opportunity for some of our members after the end of Key Club and thanks to the National Portrait Gallery - our long term partners - we have now been able to find that opportunity with the Studio Hub with TKA.
