Art with Friends
Free, bookings essential
On the first and third Friday of the month, small groups of people living with dementia and their care partners enjoy facilitated discussions of three to four works of art along with artmaking activities. Trained educators support all participants to engage.
Art with Friends utilises chairs with arms to provide comfort and safety. Visitors receive photocopied reproductions of the works of art discussed. Mobility aids, such as motorised scooters, wheelchairs, and wheelie walkers are available on request from the information desk. Call +61 2 6240 6411 to book a motorised scooter in advance.
