Our Art Engage program is a shining example of creative inspiration and community support. More than a mere art class, it offers an immersive experience where art becomes a medium for sparking meaningful conversations, building connections, and encouraging personal expression.

  • Engaging Conversations: Led by our trained gallery educators and guides, each session encourages participants to engage in thoughtful discussions about various artworks. These conversations are designed to resonate with the experiences and memories of our attendees, creating a space of empathy and understanding.
  • Creative Art-Making: The program also includes hands-on art activities. Whether it’s painting, sculpting, or drawing, these sessions provide an opportunity for participants to express themselves artistically. The process of creating art can be incredibly therapeutic and empowering, especially for individuals living with dementia.
  • Building Connections: Art Engage is more than an art program; it’s a community. It offers a unique opportunity for participants and their carers to connect with others, share experiences and find comfort in a supportive and understanding environment.

Why Choose Art Engage?

  • Tailored for Dementia: Understanding the specific needs of people living with dementia, our program is crafted to be accessible, engaging, and comforting.
  • Expert-Led Sessions: Our gallery educators and guides are not only experts in art but are also trained in engaging effectively with people living with dementia.
  • A Sense of Identity and Joy: Through art and conversation, participants rediscover their sense of identity and joy, often obscured by the challenges of dementia.
