15 May 2026 to 19 Jun 2026 Fortnightly Event
This is a program for people living with dementia and their care partners. In small groups, participants enjoy facilitated discussions of selected works of art in the Gallery. They also experience artmaking activities in the Learning Studio. Trained educators support everyone to engage.
During the program, they use chairs with arms to provide comfort and safety. Visitors receive photocopied reproductions of the works of art discussed. Mobility aids, such as motorised scooters, wheelchairs, and wheelie walkers, are available on request from the information desk. Call to book a motorised scooter in advance.
Art and Dementia is made possible by the National Gallery’s Access Partner the Lansdowne Foundation.
