Speaker: Nathan Thomas
Description
The art world celebrates creativity—but often overlooks the diverse minds behind it.
In Neurodiversity and the Art World: Building Awareness in Creative Spaces, we explore the role of neurodiversity in the creative process and how galleries, museums, and cultural institutions can become more inclusive spaces for neurodivergent artists, audiences, and professionals.
With lived experience and a background in the arts, the speaker shares insights on accessibility, representation, and the subtle barriers that still exist in creative spaces. This session encourages a fresh look at how the art world engages with neurodivergent talent—and how it can do better.
Ideal for curators, gallery teams, educators, and cultural leaders, this talk offers practical ideas to foster belonging, shift perspectives, and open up the conversation around neurodiversity in the arts.
