Arts & Minds

'Arts & Minds' was a creative programme that used The Box’s collections and exhibitions to improve wellbeing for people living with dementia and their carers.

Our aim was to improve the pathway for people living with dementia in the city through a broad range of creative activities, cultural opportunities, sessions and events. The programme was delivered with multiple creative facilitators and a changing group of participants for over 10 years, starting life as part of the Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery engagement programme and being developed and delivered at The Box since opening in 2020.

'Arts & Minds' was supported by the Claire Milne Trust.

In 2024 we decided to draw the workshops to a close and explore other opportunities to work with people living with disabilities.
