The NGV invites people living with dementia, along with their family, friends and carers, to connect with art through enriching experiences that promote discovery, creativity, and social interactions.
Connect and Create
Engage in a small group discussion about one to two works of art in the Gallery, followed by a hands-on artmaking activity in the studio. Each session runs for two hours and features different works of art and art making techniques each month.
Connect and Create is facilitated by trained NGV Educators. These free dementia-friendly sessions offer a relaxed pace and supportive environment. No prior art knowledge or experience are required. Join us for one session or come along to them all.
The NGV gratefully acknowledges Karen McLeod Adair and Anthony Adair AM for their generous support of the NGV’s art and dementia initiatives.
