Memories in the Making- Gallery Opening Reception

Alzheimer’s (he)Art Show Gallery Reception

Come enjoy this beautiful exhibit at the Center for the Arts! The Alzheimer’s (he)Art Show gallery reception will occur on Thursday, May 11, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., and is free and open to the public. Meet some of the artists and enjoy complimentary refreshments and music in the lobby. This show was curated in partnership by the Footsteps Memory Care at The Springs at Sherwood and the Center for the Arts. Memory care... these words go together magically when it comes to art. Whether a former artist re-igniting a lost passion, or someone who has never before picked up a brush, Art finds its way to the residents of Footsteps. Much of the original art comes from Memories in the Making, a program taught by the Alzheimer’s association, providing high quality art supplies to honor the work of folks living with various forms of dementia. Each painting is described in the artists own words, bringing an additional layer of meaning to each piece.

“Footsteps Memory Care at The Springs at Sherwood is a comfortable, protected community designed specifically for residents with memory challenges and various types of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Our philosophy of care recognizes residents as individuals with unique life histories, talents and abilities.” -Judy Lara, Executive Director, The Springs at Sherwood

This exhibit will be available May 11 thru July 6.
