Alzheimers Marlborough Art, Craft and Collections Trail 2024

Coinciding with World Alzheimers Month our 3rd annual Art, Crafts and 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. This is your opportunity to meet and talk with our exhibitors and learn about the inspiration for their art.

We have around 60 artists, craftspeople and specialty collectors displaying their art in their own studios, or in shared spaces in the Marlborough Alzheimers Centre, the Marlborough Art Society Gallery, the Dudson Scott Gallery, the Fidelio Gallery and Eden Gallery.

We are thrilled to welcome, alongside our returning artists, several new exhibitors including some young people who are starting on their journey as artists, all of whom are sharing their amazing talents with everyone who joins us over the weekend.

The Art Trail is a self-drive event with tickets available for just $25 per person, on sale from 2 September at the following places:

• Marlborough Alzheimers Centre, 8 Wither Road, Blenheim, Monday-Friday: 9am-3pm

• Fidelio Gallery & Wine Bar, Blenheim Railway Station, Blenheim, Tuesday-Sunday: 11.30am-late

• Marlborough Art Gallery, Library Building, 15 High Street, Blenheim,
Tuesday – Friday: 10am – 4pm, Weekends: 1pm – 4pm

Tickets are valid for both days of the Art Trail. The tickets show where to find each exhibitor, a brief outline of their style and an illustration showing the amazing talent on display.
Devonshire Teas will also be available at the Alzhiemers Centre for $5 per person during the event.

We are encouraging our very supportive Marlborough community to gather their friends together and enjoy a special weekend out and about. It’s a great opportunity to see some amazing art and talk to some of our wonderfully talented artists living and working here Marlborough. You may even be able to purchase a favourite piece of art as a gift or for your own enjoyment.

This very special fundraising event is to help us meet the increasing demand for the range of services we offer to support local people living with dementia, and their families.
These services include daytime activities for people living with dementia in a safe and friendly environment, support groups and education sessions for people living with dementia and their care partners, and education and resources for health professionals and the wider community.
All funds raised from our Art Trail remain in Marlborough.
