Conversations Art & Dementia: Community Days 2024 & 2025
People living with dementia and their carers are invited to join us for another year of conversations, connection and creativity at our free Art & Dementia program
Art & Dementia is a 90 minute social and creative tour of our exhibitions, hosted at the Gallery and created specifically for people living with dementia and their carers.
The sessions are guided by an artist educator who uses art as a trigger for conversation and self-expression through art making, enabling visitors to express their thoughts and emotions in a friendly and supportive environment.
Art & Dementia is a great opportunity for those living with dementia and their carers to reconnect, and for carers to connect with each other. It aims to combat social isolation and provide opportunities for attendees to develop ongoing quality relationships.
Art & Dementia is presented for free with all materials provided thanks to the support of Primary Health Network through the Australian Government’s PHN Program.
