Neuk Collective is proud to present "Together | Apart", a mixed media exhibition at Project Ability, Glasgow, opening 18 April 2026 (Private view on 23 April).
Bringing together work by members of Neuk Collective from across Scotland, Together | Apart explores experiences of separation and connection – and the ways these can exist simultaneously. Artists were invited to reflect on what it means to be both distinct and interwoven: separated by geography but connected through shared experience, identity and community.
Established in 2020, Neuk Collective is a neurodivergent-led initiative supporting and platforming neurodivergent artists across Scotland. What began with just four artists at its first exhibition in 2021 has grown into a network of over 250 neurodivergent creatives. Through exhibitions, workshops, advocacy and peer support, Neuk works to dismantle barriers in the arts and create spaces where neurodivergent artists can thrive.
Neuk is honoured to collaborate with Project Ability – an organisation with decades of work, including platforming and advocating for disabled artists. Together | Apart reflects a shared commitment to inclusive practice and artist-led collaboration. Neuk Collective is grateful to Project Ability for their gallery space and in-kind support throughout this project.
The exhibition showcases a wide range of media, including textiles, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, video and sound. The result is a moving and diverse exploration of belonging, distance, interdependence and individuality.

Quotes from Organisers
“We are delighted to bring ‘Together | Apart’ to Project Ability,” said Tzipporah Johnston, founder of Neuk Collective. “Neuk began as a small group of neurodivergent artists looking for connection. Today, we are a growing national network. This exhibition reflects both our differences and our deep interconnection, and shows what becomes possible when neurodivergent artists are supported to create on their own terms.
‘Together | Apart feels like an exciting development for Neuk Collective’, said curator, Amy Milner. ‘Our previous two exhibitions have focused primarily on our identity as a neurodivergent collective. Together | Apart moves beyond this - yes, we are still vocal and proud to be showcasing neurodivergent talent, but this time we have deliberately chosen a theme that doesn’t focus on identity. Neurodivergent and disabled perspectives are relevant and important, not only on issues of accessibility and inclusion, but in all broader cultural conversations.’
‘I am delighted to be bringing the brilliant work of Neuk collective into the space with Project Ability,' said producer Naomi Walmsley. ‘The exhibit theme immediately spoke to me on many levels about the power of a community, the place of the individual and how we experience the world, wherever our brains may take us. The diversity of pieces in the exhibition both reflects these multiple dimensions and makes for a gorgeous viewing experience.'
Call to Action
We invite the whole community - and especially neurodivergent people and their friends, families and supporters - to join us for this exhibition showcasing the vibrancy of Scotland’s neurodivergent artist community.

The History of Neuk Collective
Neuk Collective is a dynamic, neurodivergent-led initiative focused on promoting and supporting neurodivergent artists across Scotland. Through exhibitions, workshops, and public engagement, Neuk Collective aims to foster an inclusive art environment where diverse voices are heard and celebrated.
Established in 2020, Neuk Collective emerged in response to the significant barriers that neurodivergent artists face within the Scottish arts scene. In 2021, the collective published the Neuk Manifesto - a call to dismantle systemic barriers and enhance accessibility for neurodivergent people in the arts.
Our first exhibition in Leith’s Custom Lane and subsequent projects have not only showcased neurodivergent creativity but have also set new standards for inclusive arts practices. Today, Neuk Collective continues to expand its reach, offering a platform for neurodivergent artists across Scotland to engage, create, and lead within the arts.
Our second exhibition, "Neuk Perspectives", featured a wide array of media and artistic expressions, including textiles, glass, ceramics, painting, printmaking, video, sculpture, and sound. This event not only highlighted the artists' unique talents but also served as a model for designing art exhibitions that are inclusive and accessible to neurodivergent visitors.
