Participants are taking part in the art project for three months

Art produced by people with dementia - as part of a research project into whether art can improve their well-being - is being exhibited.

Bangor University's dementia centre is leading the research, which is being run across three sites in Wales and England.

The sessions with participants include art appreciation and hands-on work and is being carried out over three months.

The works are going on display at Age Cymru's shop in Bangor from Wednesday.

The results of the Dementia and Imagination, external research are expected in 2016.
