A city is hosting its first-ever learning disability arts festival, celebrating creativity, inclusion and connection.
Pivot Fest, held at visual arts charity and gallery Aspex Portsmouth in Gunwharf Quays, is showcasing the talents and voices of learning disabled artists from Friday to Sunday.
Artist Cameron Locke said the festival was a “good way” to show “what people with learning disabilities have to offer and how unique each individual is”.
In 2025, the Hampshire city’s council launched a bid to become the UK’s city of culture, as part of a long-term vision to be rich in culture and creativity by 2040.
