If you are a visual or performing artist breaking new ground, creating original work that challenges our assumptions about dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease, working with your community in novel ways, or inspiring creativity and joy in those with memory loss, we encourage you to apply for this year’s Dementia Arts Fellowship.

In 2025, a cohort of artists from across the creative spectrum will be selected. Artists may come from the visual arts (painting, coloring, sculpting, film), music (listening to, singing, and playing) drama/movement (acting, storytelling, dance, choreography, playwriting, and expressive movement), songwriting, or poetry (writing and reading).

The Fellowship is ongoing! Dementia Spring will enter into an agreement with Fellows to provide dementia subject matter expertise and advising as needed, to collaborate on project marketing, and to partner on outreach and engagement with the dementia community at large.

Each Impact Award recipient:

• Receives a grant of up to $5,000 to advance their work
• Receives essential marketing technical support, including professionally produced videos and social media resources
• Works with subject matter experts in dementia, caregiving, senior living, palliative and end of life care, and other clinical/scientific fields of relevance
• Learns of adjacent funding opportunities for work about or with the dementia community
• Joins a network of artists and arts organizations telling new stories about dementia

Please note: recipients will complete a contractual agreement to work collaboratively with Dementia Spring to advance art in dementia.

Let’s make a difference!
