Dementia Arts Festival

Scotland’s first Dementia Arts Festival takes place from Monday, 13th November to Thursday, 16th November.

The Deepness Dementia Arts Festival in Inverness aims to showcasing the very best that creative artists living with dementia have to offer.

Ron Coleman, who is spearheading this inaugural festival, wants to overturn the stigma surrounding dementia: the false belief that those who have it are somehow less capable, less able and incapable of retaining their autonomy. “There is so much passion, beauty and vision in the dementia community and this festival brings it all together in a real celebration.”
