– All Sessions are held from 10:30AM – 11:45AM in ECA’s accessible lobby.
– Free with Registration!
– Participants are asked to attend all three workshops in the series.
Join us on the first Wednesday of each month at 10:30AM from October through December for our award-winning Dementia-Inclusive program, presented in partnership with SilverKite Community Arts, LLC.
Each session kicks off with a 10-minute artistic activity that fosters connections between all participants. After the warmup activity, the classes are divided into two tailored groups, one for individuals experiencing early-stage memory loss and the other for caregivers and peer support navigators. Each group, close in proximity, explores a 45-minute arts learning experience, encompassing various activities, including music-making, movement, and visual arts.
Groups are facilitated by two highly specialized SilverKite Teaching Artists, and are supported by ECA staff. As the morning ends, the two groups reunite for a shared reflective session that provides opportunities to strengthen bonds and share insights on their artistic day.
For those caring for individuals experiencing advanced memory loss, classes are available specifically for caregivers and peer support navigators during tailored group session time. Please contact diana@ec4arts.org for further information on how to register as an individual caregiver or peer support navigator.
