Accessible Art For Seniors with Alzheimer's

On Saturday, July 20, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection is offering its first accessible program for seniors.



Experience art to open up your memories. The Summertime Down Memory Lane Walking Tour is designed for seniors living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of memory loss. This interactive program exercises the brain to inspire emotion, creativity and expression in every brush stroke and drop of acrylic paint. By experiencing Canadian works of art from the Group of Seven, Inuit pieces and contemporary visionaries, participants will reconnect with their past through interpretation and nostalgia.
