Where We Land, a free gathering for South West Disabled Artists, 9th September 2026

Where We Land is a new gathering for disabled, deaf and neurodivergent artists from across South West England. Created by Spectroscope, the day brings together conversations, workshops, keynote speakers, quieter spaces and opportunities to reconnect with creative practice.

This is not a traditional conference. It is a thoughtful, artist-led space shaped around reflection, ambition, experimentation and community. Whether you are emerging, mid-career or established, Where We Land is a chance to pause, connect and imagine what comes next.
