Sharing Connections: Dementia-Friendly Art Chat

Enjoy art-inspired conversations and connect with others during this one-hour program. Engage in a small group discussion about two to three works of art in the Gallery, with different works of art featured each month.

Sharing Connections is facilitated by trained NGV Educators. These free dementia-friendly sessions at the Gallery offer a relaxed pace and supportive environment. No prior art knowledge or experience are required. Join us for one session or come along to them all.

The NGV also offers dementia-friendly programs for aged care services and other community groups supporting people living with dementia. These programs can be arranged by request, and fees apply. To enquire about a booking, please contact ngvenquiries@ngv.vic.gov.au or 03 8620 2222. Bookings are subject to availability.

The NGV gratefully acknowledges Karen McLeod Adair and Anthony Adair AM for their generous support of NGV’s dementia-friendly initiatives.
