Creatief met clowns is a creative and art-based workshop for people living with dementia that invites participants to join in a collaborative process of creating an outfit and clothing a clown. In this article, I look at what happened in workshop sessions and how this mattered to those involved, including what participants with dementia valued about the activity - by listening to what they had to say, but also by attending to their performative, creative and affective ways of engaging in Creatief met Clowns . To further articulate values that came up in practice, I analyzed my findings in terms of the quality of psychosocial relations, the role of embodiment, material aspects, and playfulness in person-centered care. By combining an ethnographic study of art-based care-practice with a value-sensitive theoretical reflection on empirical findings, my approach offers an alternative to problematic efforts to quantify the value of art in person-centered dementia care
