The network aims to champion the role of the arts in dementia care, promoting the benefits that engagement in the arts are known to bring to people with dementia, their carers and families.

Membership of the network is free and open to people who work in the arts, or with people with dementia. It is also open to those experiencing the symptoms of cognitive impairment or dementia, those who care for someone with dementia, or those who are interested in the benefits that engagement in the arts can bring.
