For the first time, an art and photography exhibition by people with learning disabilities from MK SNAP will go on display at the event space of MK Gallery.
The exhibition will be on display this Friday and Saturday (July 15th and 16th), between 10am to 4pm.
MK SNAP’s Director of Education and Quality Steven Carruthers said: “The exhibition showcases the skills and talents of people with learning disabilities. It demonstrates what people can achieve with the right support.”
Learner, Michael said; “I’m really chuffed because it’s my art work going to get displayed and sold to other people.”
Learner, Abdi added: “I’m very excited inside my heart.”
Steven Carruthers explains: “The learners love to create. It’s more about the process than the outcome but to have this exhibition means the world to them.”
The art and photography exhibition is part of MK SNAP’s enterprise business initiative, that unlocks the talents of people with learning disabilities and provides the opportunity to be part of ‘the world of work' in a supportive and creative environment.
Sales from the artwork and photography form part of the charity’s enterprise programme.
A range of artwork can be purchased from the online shop and commissions can be taken.
