Artful is a gentle, creative and supportive workshop program designed especially for people living with Dementia and their family members or carers. Guided by two art therapists, the group will participate in structured art activities, and enjoy morning tea together. The program is FREE to join, but registration is essential.

"Mum and I cannot thank you enough for this art group. It is the highlight of our week and on so many levels has such incredible and powerful benefits. It is such a special and unique opportunity for social connection and a sense of community for Mum especially – it is the only activity she has at the moment where she gets to connect with people outside the home, and also for me to meet and connect with others. The creative activities have been so wonderful, interesting, stimulating and have inspired me to recreate them at home for both myself and Mum." Feedback from Artful participant (Series 1, 2024)
