Art Spark! is a program designed for people with mild to moderate memory loss and their care partners. This program will provide opportunities for dialogue and reflection through art engagement within the FIA galleries as well as experimentation with a number of mediums and materials through art making workshops.
Specially trained staff and volunteers will lead interactive sessions that will engage both the person with memory loss and their care partners. “Art Spark” programs are an hour long and refreshments are provided at the 30 minute social before the start of the gallery tour. Wheelchairs and walkers are welcomed.
