Inside Studio A

Part documentary, part fashion editorial, ‘Inside Studio A’ is a unique peek into the magical world of Studio A, getting to the heart of how art and Studio A defines the artists’ worlds, and in turn how they reimagine and impact the world around them.

Over the course of two days, we sat down with five of Studio A’s renowned artists, Mathew Calandra, Thom Roberts, Catherine McGuiness, Jaycee Kim and Meagan Pelham, along with Studio A’s founder Gabrielle Mordy, to hear their stories and capture their incredible life force so we could share it with the world and champion their voices and abilities.

To show your support for the studio and the artists, purchase their creative services and design products. That includes buying, leasing, licensing and/or commissioning artists’ work, which you can do here.

Read more about the artists over on The Iconic.

Creating professional pathways for artists living with intellectual disability

Studio A is a supported studio based in Sydney Australia that tackles the barriers artists with intellectual disability face in accessing conventional education, professional development pathways and opportunities needed to be successful and renowned visual artists. The enterprise paves professional pathways for such artists so that they can achieve their artistic and economic aspirations.

This project wouldn’t have been possible without the below team who generously dedicated their time to make it happen.
