Local Art Gallery Collaborates on Initiative: 'Kids Aloud'
This summer, Leeds Art Gallery is set to become a hub of family-friendly fun and creativity with the introduction of the Kids Aloud programme [1][2]. The gallery, located in Millennium Square, is one of more than 20 UK institutions participating in this groundbreaking initiative by the Art Fund [3].
The Kids Aloud programme invites children to simply be themselves, encouraging noisiness and expression in museums and galleries, as stated by Jenny Waldman, director of Art Fund [4]. Leeds City Council is taking part in this initiative to provide families with the opportunity to visit Leeds Art Gallery without fear of being judged for being too loud [5].
While detailed daily schedules or specific event times for Kids Aloud at Leeds Art Gallery are not explicitly listed, the programme broadly encourages children to explore art actively without the usual quiet restrictions [1][2]. The emphasis is on making the gallery welcoming to young visitors throughout the summer holidays to foster engagement and a sense of fun with art [3].
Cllr Salma Arif, Leeds City Council's executive member for adult social care, active lifestyles, and culture, is proud of the council's work to ensure museums and galleries are accessible and family-friendly [6]. She encourages families to visit Leeds Art Gallery this summer and enjoy the incredible surroundings and collection.
In addition to the Kids Aloud programme, Leeds City Council encourages families to explore other family-friendly summer activities in the city. The Leeds Industrial Museum and Thackray Museum of Medicine offer family programs, while outdoor events at places like Kirkstall Abbey and Lotherton provide performances, music festivals, and nature experiences suitable for children and families [3].
For more information about the special events and activities planned for Kids Aloud at Leeds Art Gallery, it is recommended to check directly with Leeds Art Gallery or their official website [1][2]. Leeds City Council has announced that Kids Aloud will return to Leeds Art Gallery this summer, promising a shush-free environment where children can express themselves about culture and the arts [7].
