Neuk hosts and runs a number of groups and events for neurodivergent artists. Have a look at our seasonal calendar, or book on our humanitix page.
About our regular events
Neurodivergent Artist Meetups
Meet other neurodivergent artists for casual discussion around a monthly theme.
An open space to share work-in-progress, ideas, or experiments. Bring something you’re working on, or just come to listen, connect, and be inspired by others’ practices.
These events are a space for sharing and focused on positive encouragement but if you are looking for engaged critical feedback please do let us know.
Meetups are free, and now open to neurodivergent artists from the whole UK!
Access: Closed captioning will be provided through otter.ai. If you have any other access needs please get in touch at neuk@doorinthewall.co.uk

Writers Group
Join us for our online, peer-led ND Writers Group. The group will meet from 3-4.15pm once a month, on the second Sunday of the month.
What to expect:
- We will have provided a piece of writing (see above) with optional prompts.
- We will send a reminder email 2 days before the event.
- For the first part of the session (3-3.15pm) we will discuss the piece of writing.
- For the second part of the session (3.15-4pm) is for quiet writing, side by side. You might want to respond to the pre-shared writing, or you might want to work on your own existing project.
- At 4pm, we come back together for an optional sharing session (4-4.15pm). You are welcome to stay or log off and continue writing.
Critique: Please note this is not a critique group. Writers may ask for other group members for responses to work they’ve shared, but this is not a group for sharing your feedback on how someone could improve. The purpose of this group is to create a sense of community for ND artists, and to explore ways of making writing communities that are friendly to ND brains, rather than to critique each other’s work.
