Only when you start doing a PhD do you realise that PhD students are 10 a penny.

[Anne-Marie Atkinson @AMAtkinsonPhoto]

@jess_mannion Are you doing this and the PhD at the same time? 😱

Fab day at @Project_Ability's European Art Summit.

Amber and Leslie both started a painting and Dom created a large-scale piece to be accompanied by a one-off performance at the exhibition launch.

Amber "it's been really good I've enjoyed meeting new people and old friends"

Reflections on the second half of the day - @AMAtkinsonPhoto presented an amazing paper on what inclusion does to change the concept of the artist, articulating the shift in inclusive arts organisations towards professionalism/mainstream arts. #NewDirectionsCDS

[Dr Josephine Sirotkin @JLSirotkin]

Second breakout session of the day, @AMAtkinsonPhoto is talking about her work with artists with learning disabilities #cdspgconf19

[Dr Josephine Sirotkin @JLSirotkin]

Art produced by artists with learning disabilities is often classified as 'outsider art', 'disability art' or 'art therapy'. This is very problematic and can mean that their work is undervalued @AMAtkinsonPhoto #cdspgconf19

[D4D Project @D4Dproject]

Disability & Arts : @AMAtkinsonPhoto on collaborative arts practice - raised questions about how learning disabled artists can appeal to the arts world/market whilst avoiding marginalisation of their art? Creative excellence of disabled artists much be acknowledged #CDSPGconf19

[Rebecca Porter (she/her) @RebeccaPorter_]

Ready to go! #newdirectionscds

[Anne-Marie Atkinson @AMAtkinsonPhoto]

So grateful to have presented at this welcoming and inspiring conference

[Dr Leah Burch (she/her) @LeahFBurch]

Anne-Marie suggests that we need a broader definition of 'real art' #newdirectionscds

[Pyramid @Pyramid_of_Arts]
