Free inclusive art workshop for children and young people aged 5 to 25 with additional and complex support needs and their families, held during school holidays.
Art Together is back at MK Gallery on Thursday 18 February, one of the inclusive art sessions the gallery runs every school holiday. It's designed for children and young people aged 5 to 25 with additional and complex support needs, and for their families, so it's a space where you can bring your kids and work alongside them.
Inside, it's a pressure-free workshop with several creative options to choose from, rather than one set activity everyone has to follow. There's also a chill-out area for anyone who needs a break from the noise and the bustle. The sessions are led by the gallery's Inclusion Team and specialist Associate Artists, and they're run with the understanding that not everyone works the same way. A parent who attended in 2026 mentioned that the staff's temperament made a real difference for their daughter, who struggles in new settings and with new people.
To help you prepare, the gallery sends out material in advance so you know exactly what to expect before you arrive. It's a good thing to have if you're bringing someone who finds new places a bit overwhelming.

There are two sessions on the day: 11am to 12:30pm and 2pm to 3:30pm, and they're free to attend. Places are limited and you have to pre-book by contacting Rosie at the gallery rather than through the website.
