The Society for the Arts in Dementia Care is a registered non-profit organization founded in 2004. The head office is in Vancouver, BC, Canada, with an affiliate chapter in Perth, Australia.[1]

Background

The idea for the Society for the Arts in Dementia Care was founded by Dr. Gottlieb-Tanaka.[2]

Mission statement

The Society for the Arts in Dementia Care is built on the premise that people living with dementia have the right to dignity, to be heard and to be valued. The Society provides an interdisciplinary forum for creative expression in dementia care, bringing together academic research and practical knowledge through collaboration between the medical profession and the creative arts. The Society aims to disseminate knowledge and establish ties with dementia care organisations worldwide, thereby improving the quality of life for people with dementia.[3]

Coverage

"In 2003 Dalia Gottlieb-Tanaka held an exhibition of images made by individuals living with dementia in Vancouver and over four thousand people came to view the exhibition. Such public exposure and recognition allows individuals living with dementia to feel valued and acknowledged. In Vancouver in May, 2008, The Society for the Arts in Dementia Care and the Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health, and Addiction are holding a conference entitled Creative expression, communication and dementia. As an extension to the conference, another exhibition of art works by individuals living with dementia is being organised."[4]

"In her presentation [at Canada's National Arts Centre in Ottawa], Dalia Gottlieb-Tanaka talked about how the arts can help people with dementia...She is currently training caregivers in dementia care in the Creative Expression Activities Program she conceived and developed to improve the quality of life of seniors with dementia. Ms Gottlieb-Tanaka said the arts can boost the mood of people with dementia and allow them to "turn disabilities into opportunities." She also said she believes that the desire to be creative does not diminish as people age, even when they suffer from dementia. Not only do many of her clients enjoy working on creative arts such as patining, some will show artistic talent."[5]

"So how can we help people with dementia and their caregivers? One local organization, the Society for the Arts in Dementia Care, is doing just that by providing an interdisciplinary forum for creative expression in dementia care, and brining together academic research and practical knowledge to encourage collaboration between the medical profession and the creative arts."[6]

"Recognizing the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the creative arts in dementia care and borrowing knowledge from the various types and methods of art therapy, Dalia knew she must act to bring them all together without worrying about how they fit in. This led to her establishing the Society for the Arts in Dementia Care, a registered, non-profit society. Through the society, Dalia and her Executive Board of devoted individuals have organized conferences and workshops, put out regular newsletters, presented at conferences, established ties with other like-minded groups around the world, and raised awareness about the value and significance of the creative arts in dementia care."[7]

"Gottlieb-Tanaka calls it "creative expressive therapy" - using art, dance, theatre, music, sculpture, sewing, even flower arranging to deal with dementia. The show led to an umbrella organization formed two years ago - the Society for the Arts in Dementia Care - to improve the lives of dementia sufferers through creative expression. She has a collection of art, seven years of research and experience, collaborators from all over the world..."[8]

"One of the Society's most satisfying projects was the development of a permanent collection of art produced by seniors with dementia, and donated by the seniors, their families and their care facilities."[9]

"Along with Dr. Peter Graf, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia and a member of the Society's advisory board, the Society and its Australian partner have developed an assessment tool to gauge the effects of participating in creative programs. The tool explores various areas in which individuals may best express themselves."[10]

"In some ways, relationships are changing through dementia, so creative expression can help families find ways to reconnect," says Dr. Remi Quirion, scientific director at the Douglas Hospital Research Centre in Montreal. "You can see the person on a piece of paper or in music or through another creative medium."[11]

"Mindscapes 2008, an exhibition of art produced by seniors with dementia, [was] featured from June 2 to June 16, 2008 at Emily Carr Institute of Arts and Design on Granville Island in Vancouver...hosted by the Society for the Arts in Dementia Care and the Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction..."[12]
