Connections Arts Centre is proud to present the CA Collective Exhibition at the RHA for the second consecutive year. Following the success of our impactful 2024 inaugural exhibition, this year’s showcase is even more special as we welcome 10 new artists into the CA collective, growing the CA Collective to 27 artists.
Exhibiting artists include:
Amy Begley, Alan Tarpey, Bradley Farrell, Brian Kennedy, Clement Yang, David Singleton, Jason Grace, Jennifer Humphreys, Jenny Stafford, Joe Hallam, Kristin Reynado Suniega, Matthew Sexton, Mark Buckley, Michael Hade, Niamh Eldridge-Barry, Peter Kehoe, Rachel Coen, Richard Hickey, Samuel Hilliard, Sarah McNulty, Thomas Higgins and Tomás Malone.
The CA Collective is a mixed community of talented artists who identify as having an intellectual disability or are from the neurodiverse community. The CA collective is a lead on from the Connecting Artists Programme. As members of the Collective, these artists receive support, education, and opportunities to exhibit their work, fostering peer connections and professional growth. This year’s exhibition at the RHA reflects a diverse range of artistic voices. Each piece tells a unique story, offering visitors a chance to engage with powerful perspectives that challenge, inspire, and celebrate creativity without barriers.
This exhibition is more than just a showcase of artistic talent—it’s a testament to the power of inclusion in the arts. By providing a professional platform at a prestigious venue like the RHA, we continue to amplify the voices of artists from the disability community.
Join us in celebrating this remarkable group of artists and their work. Whether you are an art lover, collector, or advocate for inclusivity, your presence and support help create a more diverse and vibrant arts community.
