Art & Wellbeing at the Art Gallery of NSW
Wednesday 19 March from 2pm to 4pm
Delivered by the Access Department of the Art Gallery, this program is a best-practice arts engagement model developed for people living with dementia and their carers to support social inclusion and improved wellbeing.
The program is designed to stimulate the imagination, provide an opportunity for self-expression and reconnecting with a sense of identity. Each week includes a guided discussion on selected artworks allowing for individual reflection and group engagement; afternoon tea to socialise with other participants and a creative activity to express one’s interpretation of the artworks discussed.
Upcoming program – Wednesday 19, 26 March & 2, 9 April
Cost: New participants – $85 per person and returning participants – $150 per person
Transportation from St Luke’s Care to and from the Gallery is also provided. Bus transportation leaves from St Luke’s Care, Potts Point at 1:30pm. Program runs 2pm – 4pm.
