There is a movement surfacing in Sydney visual arts scenes that fosters formal peer exchange and collaboration between artists with developmental disabilities and artists operating within mainstream networks. 
The first curated exhibition that explores the work of artists working from Sydney based studios that support artists with disability is being presented at Macquarie University Art Gallery.
Accessible Arts, Tom Bass Sculpture Studio School and Pine Street Creative Arts Centre are developing scholarship positions for artists with disability. Based in Sydney, Tom Bass Sculpture Studio School is the oldest and largest independent sculpture school in Australia.News
