Free creative session for children and young people aged 5 to 25 with additional support needs and their families, run by MK Gallery's Inclusion Team.
Art Together 2 is running at MK Gallery on Thursday 27 August and Thursday 29 October, with sessions from 11am to 12:30pm and 2pm to 3:30pm. It's run by the gallery's Inclusion Team and specialist Associate Artists, and it's free to take part.
The sessions are designed for children and young people aged 5 to 25 with additional and complex support needs, and for their families, who join the team to create, play and explore together in an open and friendly shared space. It's a pressure-free creative environment where you can engage on your own terms, with multiple ways to join in, a chill-out area for when you need a break, and preparation material sent out in advance so you know what to expect before you arrive.
Beyond these sessions, the gallery is running a range of accessible experiences around its L.S. Lowry exhibition. One of them is a sensory tour kit, co-designed with Collar & Cuffs Co and participants from MK SNAP, Camphill MK Communities and the visual impairment department at St Paul's Catholic School. It's part of a wider effort to make the Lowry show work for as many people as possible, rather than just having one way to see it.
