We're thrilled to be working in partnership with Belong Villages to bring arts experiences to people living with dementia. Here, 'Where the Arts Belong' facilitator Tabitha Moses introduces the project. 

Where the Arts Belong is a three-year project looking at the impact that arts activity can have on the lives of older people and, in particular, those living with dementia. Artists Suki Chan, Alan Dunn, Roger Hill, Philip Jeck, Brigitte Jurack and Mary Prestidge will undertake residencies at Belong care villages in Crewe, Birkdale and Chester:  Each artist has been selected by Bluecoat for their practice and its relationship with ageing through storytelling, movement and sensory experience.
