Shape Collection

Shape is proud to hold one of the UK’s most important collections of artwork by disabled artists.

This expanding collection holds works on long term or permanent loan including sculptural pieces by the late Adam Reynolds, and the Incarnate photographic series by Tom Shakespeare. Other artists include Jason Wilsher-Mills, Caroline Cardus, James Lake and Tony Heaton OBE. 

We are currently in the process of developing the Shape Collection - both the artworks it holds and the ways our audience can interact with them - and so this page is likely to be undergoing sustained work. If you have any questions about this process or the collection, please get in touch via the email linked below.
