Abstract | Creative outputs engage the public and can be used to share research. This paper reports on public engagement activities that were part of the research project Dementia and Imagination (D&I). We found that artwork and creative activities effectively engaged a range of audiences and challenged negative ideas about dementia. For the project team, public engagement developed relationships with collaborators and connected the research to different community settings, influencing future programmes of work. Further work could explore public engagement in diverse settings to assess which approaches are effective in maximising research value and wider community benefit. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. |

For the project team, public engagement developed relationships with collaborators and connected the research to different community settings, influencing future programmes of work. . | For the D&I project, utilising art both within the research and as a means of communication, encouraged people to engage visually and interactively with the project. . | Further work could explore public engagement in diverse settings to assess which approaches are effective in maximising research value and wider community benefit. . | In both instances, the installations provided a way to utilise art to communicate and share the research with a wider audience. . | Aesthetic outputs D&I, as a visual arts research study, has provided a host of visual materials to share: from art work created by participants during the art groups, to a number of creative workshops and installations. . |
