VIRTUAL – Perspectives: Dementia Engagement for Care Partners and Loved Ones through Art

  • Tuesday, January 23, 2024
  • 11:00 am to 12:00 pm

Virtual event

This is a virtual event. If you have questions about how to connect to the event, please contact the event host.

“Virtual Perspectives” offers an intergenerational opportunity for individuals with dementia, their care partners and students to visit virtually the world-class works which are currently featured at the Hood Museum. Looking at art is an activity that can be especially enjoyable and beneficial to those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Art-viewing utilizes areas of the brain unaffected by the disease; it can stimulate thoughts, reactions, and emotions with minimal reliance on recent memory.

This program is presented in collaboration with D-H Arts Program and the Hood Museum of Art.

Note: Both the care partner and the person with dementia should register.

You will receive a zoom link for this class 60 minutes before the class starts. The zoom link will be sent directly from the Aging Resource Center to the email you registered with.
