Meet me at MRAG: Conversations | Art & Dementia

August 1, 2014 | 12:00 am — January 1, 2015 | 12:00 am

At MRAG we are offering engaging social tours of current exhibitions and art spaces, aimed specifically for people living with dementia and their carers. The tours are guided by our trained facilitator, Lois Parish Evans, who delivers a program which encourages discussions, self expression, stories, and laughter, enabling participants to express their thoughts and emotions. Homemade cake with morning tea is included to encourage lively participation.

These tours have proved very successful in engaging this audience by using art as a trigger for conversation and dialogue. The participants gain intellectual stimulation and opportunities for further discussion between participants, carers and facilitators, all in a friendly and supportive environment.

You can call the gallery to book on 4934 9859 or email on artgallery@nullmaitland.msw.gov.au or by dropping by the art gallery in person.

For more information about the program Lois can
be contacted by phone M: 0403391926 or

For all bookings and enquiries please email
