Solihull Arts Complex

Praxis’ popular series of Insider Guide events continues with An Insider Guide to Arts Work with Older People, in partnership with Solihull MBC. The event features input from experienced professions and opportunities for discussion, sharing experiences and networking.

Presentations and case studies exploring the issues of working with older people in a range of settings will include:

  • Sandwell Third Age Arts – individual one to one programmes of creative arts in a range of visual and performing artforms
  • ArtsinMind – a service for older people living with dementia or cognitive difficulties run by Wolverhampton Arts and Heritage
  • Telford and Wrekin Council Creative Arts and Dementia Project – includes plans to make Oakengates Theatre in Telford a Dementia Friendly Building

The event will also include the launch of Sustaining the Person Within, a new project from Solihull MBC, recently awarded funding from Arts Council England.
