The Power of Arts! 1) The Brushstrokes of Dementia 2) Raising the Curtain

Episode Notes

Welcome to the Dementia Connections Podcast, where each week we share the latest research news, expert advice, and stories about living well with dementia.

This week we have two stories to share about the power of arts to improve the lives of people living with dementia.

1) Our first story is a fascinating exploration of how an artist’s work was transformed by dementia. 

2) Our second story, from our archive, is about a program called Raising the Curtain, that uses community-engaged arts practice to explore the lived experience of dementia.
