Artful Afternoon
Artful Afternoon is a series of workshops, designed in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia, created for those with dementia, as well as their partners in care, to connect with art. Sessions are offered in-person or virtually, which includes a gallery tour or presentation of art work, which is followed by a hands-on activity led by artist Lux Habrich. Guidance is provided to all participants, in-person or virtually, to encourage confidence, creativity, imagination, and the development of artistic skills.
Artful Afternoon is in partnership with:
Through the support and encouragement of our partners and volunteers, the group is able to explore art as well as socialize in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Our goal is to foster a supportive environment that can lead to the development of friendships and discussions based on the shared experiences of the participants.
