Coinciding with World Alzheimers Month our 4th Annual Art, Crafts & Collections Trail is once again bringing art to your community and showcasing some of our local, wonderfully talented artists, while helping us provide services for people living with dementia and their families and carers.
We have a large selection of artists, craftspeople and specialty collectors displaying their art in their own studios, or in shared spaces in the Marlborough Alzheimers Centre and a selection of galleries around Blenheim.
Whether you're an admirer of visual arts, handcrafted masterpieces, or unique collectibles, this weekend promises an inspiring array of works to explore. Visitors can engage directly with artists, gaining insights into their creative processes and the stories behind their works. Families and friends are encouraged to come together to celebrate creativity while supporting a meaningful cause. This very special fundraising event helps us meet the increasing demand for the range of services we offer to support local people affected by dementia, and their families.
The Art Trail is a self-drive event with tickets available for just $30 per person, on sale from 19th August at the following places:
