Arts and Dementia Network

The Arts & Dementia Network is a forum for the North East Region, founded by Equal Arts in 2011, which aims to bring together and support professionals working in the arts, health and social care who are interested in providing opportunities for people with dementia to engage in arts activity.

The network champions the role of the arts in dementia care. It promotes 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 professionals working in the arts, health and social care who work with, or have an interest in providing creative opportunities for 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.

Join the network to receive newsletters and bulletins about events, workshops and other opportunities, along with news about work taking place in the Region and beyond. Click here to sign up.
