MK Gallery is thrilled that our partnership with ARTIST ROOMS will enable us to extend our Inclusive Practice in the Arts programming this spring around our upcoming exhibition, Andy Warhol: Portrait of America.
ARTIST ROOMS, Tate and National Galleries of Scotland’s touring exhibition programme, gives young people across the UK the chance to get involved in creative projects, discover more about art and artists, and learn new skills. With Art Fund and Henry Moore Foundation support, ARTIST ROOMS is a catalyst for access and engagement with young people in museums and galleries. An ARTIST ROOMS bursary will support the delivery of IPA’s monthly Our Studio sessions, for neurodivergent young people aged 14-25 yrs and those with additional support needs, until June 2025.
It will also enable two exciting guest artist workshops delivered by Silly Gooze Editions, an artist-led Risograph studio and artist book makers in Northamptonshire. The young people’s creativity will culminate in a pop-up exhibition at the end of June to celebrate this specially themed series of workshops and exploration of Andy Warhol’s practice.
The bursary will also make possible two additional days of Art Together workshops during the Easter and May school holidays. Art Together provides an open and friendly space for families who have a child or children with additional or complex support needs, to make, play and explore their creativity.
ARTIST ROOMS presents the work of international artists in solo exhibitions drawn from a national touring collection jointly owned by Tate and National Galleries of Scotland. Its programme reaches audiences across the UK and is developed through local partnerships.
