About Art in Aged Care
Art & Alchemy Gallery offers fully mobile, dementia‑aware art classes designed specifically for aged care settings. We bring all materials, set up the creative space, and tailor each session to the cognitive, physical and sensory needs of your residents — including gentle, low‑pressure activities for clients living with dementia or requiring one‑to‑one assistance.
-
Fully mobile program: We come to your aged care facility with all art materials, tools, and protective equipment.
-
Specialised facilitation: Sessions are designed for diverse abilities — including dementia‑friendly formats, sensory‑based activities, and adaptable pacing.
-
Inclusive support: We provide hands‑on assistance for residents who need extra help with mobility, fine motor tasks, or emotional reassurance.
-
Mindful, wellbeing‑focused approach: Activities emphasise joy, confidence, connection, and gentle creative engagement rather than technical skill.
-
Flexible session design: Programs can be structured as one‑off workshops, weekly classes, or themed creative wellbeing series.
-
Individually quoted pricing: Fees are tailored to your facility based on session length, group size, and focus (e.g., dementia‑friendly, sensory, reminiscence‑based, or mixed‑media exploration).

* note this is not art therapy but is creative engagement that is highly therapeutic.
