More Than Memory: dementia, art and caring for loved ones
04 February - 23 March 2025
THIS EXHIBITION HAS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE VIEW OUR CURRENT AND UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS.
This exhibition of drawing, painting and sculpture is by older people and people living with dementia as well as those who care for them.
Members of 'Happy Days' Memory Cafes, Evergreens Elders and Trymview Hall Care Home residents and RWA's Teatime Tours regular visitors are included. Paintings from the RWA Collection have also been selected for this exhibition by the facilitators and participants.
Alongside this, a series of stories and photographs of carers will be on display. These are produced by Invisible Army, who make visible the challenges and joys that carers cope with every day.
This exhibition is supported by Bristol Dementia Action Alliance.
