Program Description:
In this abstract painting class, participants will connect with creativity using acrylic paints, allowing them to explore vibrant colors and express themselves freely. This class offers a gentle and encouraging environment where participants can explore the liberating realm of abstract art. Attuned to the unique needs of individuals with dementia, attendees will embark on a journey of exploration through bold colors, free-form strokes, and imaginative expression.

No prior art experience is necessary; our focus is on fostering a sense of joy and accomplishment through the act of creating. Join us for an enriching experience that transcends traditional boundaries, where each brushstroke becomes a celebration of individuality, encouraging self-expression and promoting a sense of community within our studio.

In this program you will cultivate:
- Improved concentration
- Cognitive reserve
- Wellbeing through creativity
- Creative expression
