Time: National Gallery Opening Hours
Venue: National Gallery Singapore
Dementia is one of the most debilitating health conditions faced by Singapore’s rapidly ageing population. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as arts engagement, have potential to enhance the quality of life for persons living with dementia and their caregivers.
Art with You is an evidence-based museum programme developed by National Gallery Singapore in partnership with Dementia Singapore, which aims to foster positive and meaningful engagement that supports the wellbeing of caregivers and persons with dementia. Art with You combines people-centred care with arts engagement to create an inclusive environment where persons with dementia are valued, respected and empowered.
Participants may choose between guided group visits* led by the Gallery’s friendly docents or self-guided visits where they can enjoy the Gallery at their leisure using our unique Art with You Caregivers Guide and Art Kit (art-making materials).
*The minimum group size for guided group visits is two pairs of caregivers and persons living with dementia; the maximum is four pairs.
