Elders and caregivers
open studio
Art-making holds a unique power in the context of memory loss, offering a bridge between the present and the past.
For individuals experiencing conditions like Alzheimer's or dementia, engaging in creative expression can help preserve a sense of identity and continuity, even when memory fades.
Art can evoke long-forgotten moments, trigger sensory memories, or even create new connections to the self.
Making art can create a sense of agency, helping people with memory loss feel empowered, even as other aspects of their lives become harder to manage.
We are grateful to currently offer our Elders and Caregivers Program at no cost with the grant support from Bader Philanthropies, Inc. and Second Chance Grant Foundation.
