Leading active conversations about dementia: University of Northampton gets behind new community forum

University of Northampton Waterside Campus, University Dr, northampton

Taking dementia innovation and insights to the next level will be on the agenda this July with the launch of a new community forum. The Dementia Coproduction Forum will be supported by the University’s Dementia Research and Innovation Centre (NDRIC) and led by Northamptonshire Carers; the news is being announced during this week’s Dementia Action Week. One of the aims of the forum is to actively listen to and harness the views and voices of people with dementia, their carers and loved ones, and relevant organisations supporting people with dementia. An information event to officially launch the Forum will be held on Wednesday 15 July, 9.30am-2pm in the Senate building at Waterside Campus The event is free and open to all who are interested in finding out more. The Forum will also help shape the local dementia strategy currently being designed by Integrated Care Northamptonshire and expected to be launched this year. The project is supported through the funding provided through the UON’s Public and Community Engagement fund; this has provided an £8,000 boost between November 2025 – July 2026 to enable the researchers to conduct public engagement activities to encourage underserved communities in Northamptonshire to engage with the Dementia Forum.

From the Collection: Drawings

Recurring
Northampton Museum And Art Gallery 4-6 Guildhall Rd,, Northampton

An exhibition of drawings from the Northampton Museums & Art Gallery collection. This exhibition explores drawing as a fundamental artistic language, presenting preparatory sketches and finished works that reveal how ideas take shape on paper. Through the delicate studies of Henry Moore, the atmospheric sketches of Walter Sickert, the imaginative designs of Sir Edward Burne Jones, and the expressive drawings of Clare Abbatt, amongst others, visitors are invited to consider drawing not merely as a preliminary step but as an art form in its own right. The works on display highlight how artists across different periods and practices use line, tone, and observation to experiment, problem solve, and refine their vision. Together, they celebrate drawing’s enduring role as a tool for exploration, invention, and creative thinking.

Rose Finn Kelcey: House Rules

Recurring
NN Contemporary Vulcan Works, northampton

Arts Collective launches its new gallery programme with an exhibition revisiting the pioneering work of British conceptual artist Rose Finn-Kelcey, curated by Emer Grant. This marks the first presentation of the artist’s work in her hometown of Northampton. Featuring photographic, installation and video works loaned from national collections and archives, the exhibition recontextualises Finn-Kelcey’s groundbreaking practice through architectural space and coded forms. It considers how formal systems and power structures shape experience through architecture, language, ritual and atmosphere. Exhibited publicly for the first time since its original installation, Bar Doors (1991) captures architectural thresholds, foregrounding moments of passage between spaces. The photographic documentation of Finn-Kelcey’s site-specific installation—seven saloon-style doors installed in a Houston city park—invites viewers to reconsider familiar architectural features as markers of access and permission. The exhibition also explores Finn-Kelcey’s fascination with spirituality and its connections to the commercial and domestic structures of contemporary life, featuring works such as It Pays to Pray (1990), God Kennel – A Tabernacle (1992) and Jolly God (1997). Her iconic flag works are also presented, including documentation of Power for the People (1972), in which a collective political declaration was placed directly onto the monumental architecture of Battersea Power Station while it remained operational. Throughout the exhibition, architecture, movement and attention shape...
