2025 Charity Partners
Artists supporting Artists.
The profits from the 2024 Incognito Art Show sale will go towards funding programs at Studio A and The Art Factory.
We are proud to work with these organisations.
Studio A is a supported studio based in Sydney Australia that tackles the barriers artists with intellectual disability face in accessing conventional education, professional development pathways and opportunities needed to be successful and renowned visual artists. The enterprise paves professional pathways for such artists so that they can achieve their artistic and economic aspirations.
Studio A provides its artists with a working studio space equipped with specialist materials and support-staff. It also manages an annual exhibition program and facilitates weekly workshops provided by invited contemporary artists. Studio A supports a variety of artists working within a range of disciplines and thus strategically links Studio A artwork with an equally diverse range of target markets including art, design, craft, and corporate markets.
Studio A contributes to various personal outcomes for the artists including increased self esteem, increased aspirations for the future, broader social networks and a sense of belonging, increased financial security and improved mental health. More broadly, within the community Studio A reduces stigma associated with people with disability and increases diversity and inclusion. Studio A offers the mainstream arts sector access to new artists and new opportunities for unique collaborations.
The Art Factory, facilitated by Riverina Community College in Wagga Wagga, is a vital "supported studio" empowering artists with learning disabilities. Evolving beyond simple participation, it functions as a dynamic creative hub, offering professional development to both disabled and non-disabled artists.
This innovative model, rooted in social justice, fosters artistic growth, social inclusion, and professional careers, significantly impacting Australia's visual arts and disability sectors. As an NDIS provider, the Art Factory plays a critical role in enabling meaningful employment and leadership opportunities for artists with learning disabilities in regional NSW, driving a positive societal shift.
