The Art of Alzheimer’s, in association with Seniors Creating Art, presents: The Mural Project—Exhilarating Art By Vibrant People

JULY 12- AUGUST 11. Opening Reception Friday, July 14, 7-9 pm The prevailing narrative around the issue of Alzheimer’s and dementia tends to be one of fear and loss—people with dementia thought of as empty shells where someone used to be. These 16 murals of artwork by nearly 200 people living with dementia and mem- ory loss tell a different story—one of hope, connection, purpose and courage. One look and you immediately realize—they are definitely Still Here, living with dignity, creativity and joy.
