Art in Mind is a programme of monthly art workshops for people living with dementia and their companions or care givers.
The programme has been running since 2013 and responds to the vision of lifelong learning, engaging with adults in the early stages of dementia and their companions or care givers. Research has shown that artistic stimulation prolongs the ability of people living with dementia to play an active part in society.
The Lightbox has always believed that art makes you feel good and by focusing on the participants’ new expression of creativity we can encourage positivity and discussion.
Sessions are led by an artist and works from The Ingram Collection are used to inspire both conversation and creativity. We choose a different artwork each month to look at, which enables us to work with different materials each time. It could be that we use clay, acrylics, watercolours or sketching materials, anything which lends itself to the original artwork. The idea is that the participants respond to the piece, rather than trying to make a copy of it.
