Sarah Barker Art Studios CIC
Sarah Barker Art Studios CIC exists because creativity should never be limited by disability, circumstance, age or background.
We are a disability-led organisation based in Cornwall, transforming how people experience art, movement, connection and community. Every session we run, every partnership we build, and every smile in the room starts from the same belief:
Everyone has the right to create. Everyone has the right to belong. Everyone has the right to be seen.
Our work is rooted in lived experience. Our founder, Sarah Barker, became paralysed from the neck down after an accident at 18 months old. Today she is a professional mouth-painting artist, founder of this CIC, a disability advocate, and proof that creativity can thrive in any form.
Sarah’s journey, from painting with a brush held between her teeth, to exhibiting her work across Cornwall, to leading volunteers and building inclusive programmes. shaped the entire mission of the studio:
- To break barriers.
- To build community.
- To show that creativity is for every body
