Art activities for people with dementia have a range of therapeutic benefits including psychosocial wellbeing and enhanced quality of life. Successful art programs promote social engagement, are inclusive and empowering, and enable opportunity for people with dementia to express themselves verbally and non-verbally. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated social distancing precautions have impacted the capacity of art galleries and museums to deliver in-person programs. However, they have also provided a new opportunity. This paper explores the potential benefits, challenges, and future directions for research relating to the online delivery of gallery-facilitated art activities for people with dementia. The evidence revealed that increased digitisation of programs increased access for participants, however, the majority of the research was published before the pandemic. Nevertheless, COVID-19 has necessitated many museums and galleries to engage with people with dementia online. Future research is needed to improve the usability of online delivery platforms and a comparison of online and onsite delivery is recommended, particularly to evaluate benefits to people living in rural and remote areas where access to museums and galleries may be limited.
艺术活动对痴呆症患者有多种治疗益处，包括心理社会健康和提高生活质量。成功的艺术项目促进社会参与，具有包容性和赋权性，并为痴呆症患者提供了口头和非口头表达自己的机会。COVID-19 大流行和相关的社交距离预防措施影响了美术馆和博物馆提供现场项目的能力。然而，它们也提供了一个新的机会。本文探讨了在线提供美术馆为痴呆症患者提供的艺术活动的潜在好处、挑战和未来研究方向。证据表明，项目的数字化程度提高增加了参与者的机会，但是，大多数研究都是在大流行之前发表的。尽管如此，COVID-19 还是迫使许多博物馆和美术馆与在线的痴呆症患者进行互动。需要进行未来研究来提高在线交付平台的可用性，并建议对在线和现场交付进行比较，特别是要评估对居住在农村和偏远地区的人的益处，在这些地区，进入博物馆和美术馆的机会可能有限。
