A report on Art into Life – a programme for older adults with mental health problems and dementia to connect with their memories and experiences through interacting with art in Tate Modern.

Art into Life: Mental Well-being Impact Assessment created a programme for older adult inpatients and community service users to have the opportunity to participate in interactive, inclusive gallery workshops at the Tate Modern. These workshops encouraged the participants to explore the art work by holding materials and objects and talking about them to connect with the art and make associations with our own experience and memories.
