August 2024Had a lovely time at the MK Calling 2024 exhibition. I appreciate the way the gallery collaborates with local organisations like MK Snap and Q:alliance to identify and showcase diverse local talent.

August 2024This is a great local gallery that features a different exhibition every few months. I saw the MK Calling exhibition by various local art groups. I found it really uplifting and interesting to see so many different perspectives, especially the touchable works by visually impaired artists. Highly recommended. If you live locally you can go in for £1! From the gallery website: "Over the past year, MK Gallery has been collaborating with learners from: MK SNAP, a Milton Keynes-based training provider for learning-disabled adults; The Visually Impaired People (VIP) Group, a group of friends living with sight loss in the local area who have met through different local support organisations; Unknown Collective, a group of under-26-year-old creatives who have previously engaged with MK Gallery’s programme; Members of the Middle Eastern Cultural Group, a platform which provides social activities and language tuition to people from Middle Eastern communities living in Milton Keynes; and adults from Q:Alliance, a registered charity that provides support, information, and empowerment for the LGBTQ+ community in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas."

July 2024Always a wonderful experience visting MK Gallery, we are so lucky to have the world class exhibition space and all of the incredible art shown here, right on our doorstep. The staff (often volunteers) are very friendly and welcoming and really knowledgeable. MK residents get to see the exhibitions free on a Tuesday (don’t forget address ID), you can book easily online and the shopping centre parking is very close by. The gallery are committed to being accessible to all and whilst there are levels if you want to use the attendant (and excellent) cinema and event spaces, there is a lift, plenty of space to manoeuvre and help on hand if you want it. The cafe is fantastic with options for vegans and gf. I love the coffee, it’s delicious! The new coffee cups are absolutely beautiful too. We come here often and have never been disappointed. I recommend the gallery to everyone. Let’s use and support this resource to ensure we don’t lose it!
