Please join us for a screening of Belong Where You Find Yourself, a film documenting the work and experiences of those involved in a community-engaged art project that supported artists living with dementia and their care partners.
From January 2022 – May 2023, lead Artists Alana Moore and Amber Phelps Bondaroff worked closely with a community of 12 artists from Yorkton and surrounding areas whose lives have been impacted by dementia. In this hour-long documentary, filmmaker Adrienne (Sunny) Adams weaves documentation of the artworks created with personal stories and experiences of the artists involved.
Participating Artists in the BWYFY Project include:
Elaine Berard & Herb Elder; Bonnie & Leon Jones; Merle & Dean Wiley; Amanda Babey & Verna Off; Pat & Ron Walton; and Twila Napoleoni & Jeanette Haberstock.
Lead artists Alana Moore, and Amber Phelps Bondaroff, and filmmaker Adrienne Adams will be in attendance for a brief Q&A after the film.
Refreshments will be provided. The event is free and open to the public.

A Community-Engaged Art Project at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery
Watch the new video update on Belong Where You Find Yourself, presented at the 2022 Rural Dementia Action Research (RaDAR) Summit by Jeff Morton, Director & Curator at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery:
By directly involving people living with dementia and their care partners, this project will contribute to a feeling of inclusion. Participants will meet at the gallery, collaborate on art making, share stories, and spend time over more than a year, ultimately seeing their work and their stories on display in a public art gallery.
