Welcome to our virtual gallery. We created the gallery to show you the wonderful art works the many participants of our services have created since March 2020 when the pandemic hit. In response Age Exchange created Virtual Day Care as a means to provide ongoing support for our participants living with dementia and their carers. You can read more about our innovative response to the challenge of the pandemic.

The art works in our gallery have been created by older service users living with dementia and their carers, as well as service users living with young onset dementia and their carers. We have been inspired by the beautiful and moving art works they have created during such a challenging time for each of them. We have called our exhibition “Lockdown”. The different galleries reflect the different activities and interventions we created to support people at home during the pandemic, including for a brief period in response to the reintroduction of face to face sessions back at Age Exchange. And we have also opened up our gallery to a guest exhibition which focuses on a project with NHS clinical and nursing staff in Worcester.

We would like to thank all our gifted participants who have taken part in Virtual Day Care and made these art works, as well as the Age Exchange team and volunteers who have supported them and our team of Reminiscence Arts Practitioners who support participants with ideas, skills development and inspiration. We would like to thank Arts Council England for supporting Virtual Day Care and making this exhibition possible.
