TENDING – GROWING CONNECTIONS: SENSORY ART & GARDENING

Mon 21 Sep | 3pm – 4pm | FREE ENTRY

Celebrate The Studio, an artist-led project with residents and staff at Beaufort House, Navan. Facilitated by artist Penelope Lacey, explore an exhibition of nature inspired artworks created over the last six months, the premiere of a documentary film capturing the essence of the project, and seasonal refreshments, and treats grown by residents as part of The Studio project at Beaufort House.

Supported by Solstice Arts Centre, Meath County Council’s Creative Ireland Programme and Beaufort House.

Happening during World Alzheimer’s Month, we will also feature the free screening of ‘Don't Forget to Remember' at 7:30pm in our theatre. This deeply moving and visually striking documentary follows acclaimed Irish street artist Asbestos as he navigates his mother's advancing Alzheimer's. An artist’s exploration of the fragility of memory, it also celebrates a family’s life lived together. This screening will include a Q&A with the artist and film director Ross Killeen, facilitated by Matthew Gibb, Director of the Dementia Services Information and Development Centre in St. James, and Chair of the Dementia: Understand Together working group.
