Wellness@WAG: Art to Inspire
Thursday, January 16 to Thursday, June 25
Art to Inspire is a program designed to creatively engage people living with dementia, and their care partners, with visual art.
Led by specially trained art educators and artists, Art to Inspire offers six afternoon sessions in the Gallery where participants can enjoy conversations, works of art, and artmaking in a supportive setting. Each session explores a different theme, and engages participants in different ways that celebrate present-moment awareness and meaningful creative expression.
