The arts have a profound impact on mental health and quality of life. Therefore, this project celebrated and promoted the arts among the older generation of RBKC in collaboration with Age UK K&C, by hosting a series of 10 tours and workshops themed around our recent Season of Sculpture exhibitions which included IF NOT NOW, WHEN? Generations of Women in Sculpture in Britain 1960-2023 and CHRISTO AND JEANNE-CLAUDE: BOUNDLESS. The sessions were specifically aimed at those with dementia as studies have shown that art therapy activities even help boost cognitive function in various areas of the brain and enhance communication, brain function and social interaction in people with dementia.

Here are some quotes from some of the participants:

Something unique and different to do. – Frank
