Joslyn’s Art-Based Program for People Living with Memory Loss
Art to Remember gallery talks are designed for small
groups of visitors with memory loss, early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and
related dementias, and their friends or care partners.
Held in the Museum’s galleries on select Sundays at 2 pm, Art to Remember encourages
participants to discover themselves while reminiscing, reflecting, or
relating their own life stories to the thematic connections revealed in
works of art. All programs are facilitated by Joslyn's experienced docents.
This month's tour: The Power of Color
Color has the power to convey a rainbow of human emotion, from the
brightest joy to the most shadowy fear. Color is the essence of
landscape, of mood, of our whole perception of the physical world. Join
us for a look at how artists, such as Henri Matisse, have used this most powerful element of art to color your world!
