Arcadea Hub Studios

Founded by disabled people in 1991 Arcadea is a disability arts organisation and registered charity that works to create better access to the arts for disabled people.

Based in our central Newcastle studio, the Hub is a cultural day service offering places to creative learning disabled and autistic adults, including school/college leavers. Hub members work with experienced support workers and professional artists in a range of disciplines including; drawing and painting, sculpture, textiles, media, printmaking, drama and movement. Activities are designed to develop personal creativity and improve art and craft skills whilst enabling collaboration, communication and wellbeing.

This is a warm, caring and kind place to be because:

• we offer a quiet/calm area
• we offer small group work & activities
• we offer peer support (buddy/mentoring system)
• staff are available for discussing individual needs
• pre-visits are available
• we have an accessible toilet (continence issues)
• staff have experience with SEND young people
