At Arts for Dementia we use the power of the arts to inspire people living with dementia to get creative, connect, learn new skills and most importantly, have fun.
Our free workshops aim to challenge, boost confidence and wellbeing through a variety of art forms from visual arts, drama, sculpture, dance and more.

Art School with Central Saint Martins, Feb-Mar 2024
Continuing our partnership with Central Saint Martins School of Art, BA Fine Art students and their tutor Shepherd Manyika led our participants to explore sound and sculptural art forms. The programme began with participants creating musical instruments from recycling, and then exploring the range of sounds the instruments made. Over the weeks our participants used a microphone and mixing tools to create soundscapes from the noises of the instruments. They also used colourful materials including rope and cellophane to create artworks on paper, and then projected onto the wall, which could then be put to the created soundtrack. Finally, they worked together on one huge collaborative artwork, everyone having time to paint an element onto a huge canvas on the wall.
