Rockets is a not-for-profit artist-led social enterprise based in Brighton, UK.
We celebrate and raise awareness of diverse identities, abilities and art practices. We do this through accessible public engagement projects, specialist arts training and a dedicated studios programme for disabled, learning disabled and neurodivergent people.
​
Our staff are experienced inclusive artists, passionate about challenging barriers and developing collaborative strategies so that art-making, learning and communication is open
and accessible for all.
We make our work visible through taking space on platforms, exhibitions and events, commissions, sales and training. We work with other creatives, locally and internationally to explore our different and shared perspectives, through creativity.
