Artism is a creative group for autistic adults – co-designed by autistic adults.

Please note:  Artism, our weekly creative session for autistic adults, will be taking a little break until we move to our new permanent space in Longbenton. Please watch this space for further information in the coming months.

In the meantime, you can register your interest by filling in this sign up form.


The group is focused on creativity and social connection – whether that’s getting involved or just turning up and doing your own thing in the company of others! The group aims to encourage autonomy and peer support without creating pressure.

The Artism project is currently a pilot project by NTAS and is running for 12 months between January and December 2025. The project takes place outside of studio hours to allow members to work in a quieter studio environment, while keeping the location familiar and consistent.
