Day Care Centre

The Day Care Centre programme is project-based and supports an ethos of creative exchange and experimentation between the artist and the participants. The projects aim to be stimulating, enjoyable and culturally relevant to older people, frequenting the centres and lending towards a collaborative group approach. Projects may differ in the style of delivery, some adopting a short directive encounter, while others facilitate more extended engagement. The artists might work alone or collaboratively and intermittently themes that link and connect the participants in each location are used.
