Hi:
It has occurred to me that I have not brought all of you up to date on the KARE programs.
These monthly events, held at the Mildred Lane Kemper Museum of Art, Washington University in St. Louis, are a vital part of Maturity and Its Muse. We have been so lucky to find a willing, able, and enthusiastic partner, in Allison Taylor, the Kemper’s Director of Educational Studes. She is a major force in ensuring that our mission to utilize the visual arts as a way for folks with early to mid Alzheimer’s and their caregivers/carepartners to relate to their life experiences, awaken their senses, and share this with those around them.
Here are links to several articles on our program. They can tell it better than I.
